Grewia robusta Seeds
Karoo Cross-Berry
The large flowering plant genus Grewia is today placed by most authors in the mallow family Malvaceae. Formerly, Grewia was placed in either the family Tiliaceae or the Sparrmanniaceae. The genus was named by Carl Linnaeus, in honour of the botanist Nehemiah Grew (1641-1712) from England. Grew was one of the leading plant anatomists and microscope researchers of his time, and his study of pollen laid the groundwork for modern-day palynology. Grewia robusta, commonly known as Karoo Cross-berry in English and Karookruisbessie, Karkarbessie or Kruisbessiebos in Afrikaans is a South African endemic species from the Eastern Cape and Western Cape Provinces. The sweetly scented Grewia robusta has beautiful, bright pink flowers. It is a frost-resistant, hardy shrub or small tree that is adaptable to all soils, from clay to sand. It makes a good hedge for your bird garden.
