''Sterculia murex'' Hemsl. or lowveld chestnut is a southern African tree with a very limited distribution in the lowveld of eastern Mpumalanga and Swaziland. After ''S. alexandri'' it is the most southern representative of the genus in Africa.〔''Icones plantarum'' vol. 23:(1894)〕 Kew currently recognises some 92 species of ''Sterculia'', confined to the tropics and slightly beyond at low altitudes.〔http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=Sterculia+〕 ==Habit== First described by the botanist William Botting Hemsley in 1894, this species grows to about 10 metres in height with a trunk of some 30 cm in diameter covered in thick, greyish-brown bark, becoming almost black with age, and cracking in a rectangular pattern. Its unusual spiny fruits and palmately compound leaves make this an easily identifiable tree. It was illustrated by Cythna Letty in ''Flowering Plants of South Africa'', vol. 32, plate no. 1279.〔http://plants.jstor.org/visual/preart0000302?s=t〕
