Dombeya rotundifolia
:''This article is about ''Dombeya rotundifolia'' as originally described by Hochstetter. The ''D. rotundifolia'' of Bojer is now ''D. spectabilis.
''Dombeya rotundifolia'', Dikbas or "South African wild pear" (it is not related to pear trees), is a small deciduous tree with dark grey to blackish deeply fissured bark, found in Southern Africa and northwards to central and eastern tropical Africa. Formerly placed in the Sterculiaceae, that artificial group has now been abandoned by most authors and the plants are part of an enlarged Malvaceae.
==Description==
Trees are normally 5–6 m tall with a single well-defined trunk, growing on deep soils, river banks and rocky places. Leaves and flower buds are densely covered in stellate hairs. One of the first species to flower in spring, often with ''Erythrina lysistemon''. Flowers are abundant and sweet-scented, usually white but occasionally pale pink. Flowers (15-20 mm diameter) inconspicuous round fruits form at the centre of the brown, dead, persistent petals. Wood is bluish-grey, dense, hard and extremely tough, and was sought after during the era of building wagons and carriages.
Most of the cultivated dombeyas are shrubs with attractive pink or white flowers closely related to ''D. rotundifolia'', such as ''Dombeya burgessiae'' or ''Dombeya autumnalis''; the latter was described when its habit of flowering during autumn became apparent.
