Turraea floribunda commonly known as Honeysuckle-tree or Wild Honeysuckle-tree in English and Kanferfoelieboom in Afrikaans is a slender, elegant tree that is ideal for small subtropical and tropical gardens. The tracery of leafless branches is covered in spring with a profusion of fragrant, lily-like flowers coloured a delicate pistachio-green. It grows into a slender, small to medium-sized, often deciduous tree, up to 10 or 15m tall, single or multi-stemmed and loosely branched. The bark is pale grey or brownish. The branches are hairy when young and slender and whip-like, often growing in a flat plane. The leaves are ovate to lanceolate, rather soft-textured and hairy beneath. The flowers appear with or just before the leaves and, like them, are borne in clusters of 2 to 18 flowers at the end of the slender branches. The species is highly suitable as ornamental in moist, frost-free tropical and subtropical gardens, and as a conservatory plant in temperate countries. It can be tried in protected places in cooler gardens. The roots and bark are used medicinally to treat rheumatism, dropsy, and heart ailments, as well as a purgative and enema. Zulu sangomas use it as an emetic in order to enter the tranced state, necessary for their divinations.
