Pavetta lanceolata

Pavetta lanceolata, commonly the weeping bride's bush, is an evergreen shrub or small tree that reaches about 4 m in height (SA Tree List No. 718.1).

The fruit is a small, spherical berry about 7 mm in diameter growing in clusters from autumn to winter.

P. lanceolata grows in the eastern parts of South Africa, from the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal to the Mpumalanga and Limpopo Lowveld, as well as in some neighbouring countries.

The habitat is bushveld, forest margins, rocky slopes and riverbanks in fairly high rainfall areas. The habitat population is deemed of least concern early in the twenty first century (Coates Palgrave, 2002; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
