'''''Rhus lucida''''', Varnished Kuni-Rhus (English) Blinktaaibos (Afrikaans). This small tree has a distribution along the West Coast of [[South Africa]] from [[Saldanha Bay]] around the [[Cape of Good Hope|Cape]] and up the East Coast almost until the [[Mozambique]] border. Its distribution area also encompasses the whole of [[Kwazulu-Natal]] and stretches in an arm past [[Swaziland]], right up the Lowveld areas of [[Mpumalanga]] and into [[Limpopo Province]], almost to the [[Zimbabwe]] border. The tree seldom reaches a height of more than 2 metres and has attractive shiny leaves. It is found in scrub or forest areas from sea level to 2000 metres above. It produces small, creamy-white flowers, which bear fruits 4 mm in diameter, which are initially green and turn shiny brown as they mature. The fruits are eaten by birds.
