Combretum afrum,[1] commonly known as Cape bushwillow, is a species of tree native to South Africa. It is endemic to the Cape Provinces.[2]
Biochemistry
In C. afrum, combretastatins A-1, A-4 and B-1 can be found.[3]
Taxonomy
The etymology of the original species name caffrum is related to kaffir, an ethnic slur used towards black people in Africa. At the July 2024 International Botanical Congress, a vote was held with the result that "caffrum" related names will be emended to afrum related ones, with the implementation of this happening by the end of July 2024.[4]
