Ochna serrulata in fruit

Ochna serrulata, the carnival bush and umbomvane in Zulu, is usually a shrub, occasionally a tree. Its yellow flowers are attractive, but following them the striking red sepals are persistent, spreading like wings over the greenish, white and eventually black fruit. To many the fruits contribute more to the plant's popular standing (Coates Palgrave, 2002; https://suntrees.co.za).
