Pavetta revoluta Seeds
Dune Bride's Bush; Duinebruidsbos
This white-flowered shrub or a small tree is a joy to have in the garden; it also attracts wild life to the garden. Pavetta revoluta is an evergreen shrub up to 6 m high. The bark is smooth in texture and light-coloured. The leaves are simple and oppositely arranged. Pavetta revoluta occurs from Port Alfred up through the former Transkei region (Eastern Cape) to KwaZulu-Natal in forest and dune bush. It is confined to a narrow strip along the coast, not far from the sea. It grows in a dwarf form on the sea shore. This is a lovely tree with great horticultural potential. It is a good specimen for small gardens and as a specimen plant in a pot. It is reported that the Xhosa people use it for rheumatism and as emetic insecticide.
