''Combretum imberbe'' (Leadwood, (アフリカーンス語:Hardekool), (ソト語:Mohwelere-tšhipi), (ツォンガ語:Motswiri), (ズールー語:iMpondondlovu)) is a characteristic and often impressive bushwillow species of the southern Afrotropics. The medium to large tree〔 has a sparse, semi-deciduous canopy of grey-green leaves. The twigs and leaves are hairless as the name ''imberbe'' suggests. Its heartwood is dark brown, close-grained, and very hard and heavy, as suggested by its vernacular name. The durable heartwood is much sought after in the woodcarving industry. The Hereros and Ovambos of Namibia attach special cultural and religious significance to the tree,〔 as to them it is the great ancestor of all animals and people, which must be passed with respect. ==Range== It is native to the mesic savannas of Africa south of the equator, from KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, in the south to Tanzania in the north. It is a native tree in South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, Zambia and Tanzania. It is a protected tree in South Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Protected Trees )〕
