About

Sterculia murex Hemsl. or lowveld chestnut is a southern African tree in the family Malvaceae, and the subfamily Sterculioideae. It has a very limited distribution in the lowveld of eastern Mpumalanga. After S. alexandri it is the most southern representative of the genus in Africa. Kew currently recognises some 92 species of Sterculia, confined to the tropics and slightly beyond at low elevations.
