Maytenus oleoides
''Maytenus oleoides'', commonly known as the mountain maytenus or rock false candlewood, is a dense, medium-sized tree that grows throughout the western half of South Africa. It is known as klipkershout in Afrikaans.
==Description==
The bark of ''Maytenus oleoides'' is greyish-brown, smooth when young but becoming rugged and corky as it ages, with vertical grooves and transverse cracks. The leaves are alternate, oval, with a narrow base, stiff and leathery, mid-green with a bluish tinge. The margins are inrolled and smooth and the apex is rounded, or may be notched. The midribs are ridged, and when the leaves are snapped in half they differ from some other ''Maytenus'' species such as ''Maytenus acuminata'' in not having pale threads linking the halves. The young foliage is reddish. The flowers are small and grow in clusters in the axils of the leaves. The flowering period is normally from August to November but in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, some specimens flower in May and June. The fruits are about in diameter and consist of a fleshy pale green, two-lobed capsule that dries and turns pale orange in the summer, before splitting open to reveal the seeds within a yellow aril.〔
