Botanical Name: Bolusanthus speciosus Family: Fabaceae - The legume and pod-bearing family. (Pea & Bean Family) Common names: Tree wisteria; Elephant Wood; Vanwykshout (Afr.); mogaba (Northern Sotho); umHolo (Zulu) The tree wisteria is certainly one of the most spectacular of our indigenous trees when in flower, mimicking the splendour of the jacaranda, which unfortunately is proving to be an invader species in parts of South Africa. Given time and effort this tree could replace the jacaranda trees from Argentina and carpet Pretoria streets with indigenous purple blooms instead.
