Sterculia rogersii Seeds

This small (6meter tall) deciduous tree is most frequently found in hot, dry open woodland, as well as on rocky outcrops. It is a thick stemmed tree which branches from low down. The leaves are 3 to 5 lobed and resemble those of a maple. The tree flowers for quite a long time, and the small bell-shaped flowers, normally borne in clusters, are red on the outside and yellow on the inside.

The peculiar woody fruit are 3 to 5 lobed (star shaped) and the individual lobes are shaped like short thick bananas. The fruit have a velvety finish on the outside and when they split open, the seeds are found nested between hair. The bark is smooth, grey and it peels in thin papery strips. This reveals a beautiful display of colors, from pink to deep purple and from yellow ocher to a bronze red.
