Bridelia micracantha
The Coastal Golden-leaf is also known as the Mitzeeri.
This is a large tree that may exceed a height of 20 metres. It is found in a variety of forest and woodland habitats.
The fruit of the Coastal Golden-leaf are small and oval shaped. They go blackish as they ripen. The Coastal Golden-leaf does not bear fruit every year.
Before this tree sheds its leaves in autumn they take on the beautiful orange colour associated with this season. The Coastal Golden-leaf is not without leaves for very long as it replaces them during winter.
