Subshrub, deciduous, erect, up to 1.20 m in height, highly ramose. Stems very upright, sometimes slightly spinescent, with yellowish-brown bark, fissured in the older lower parts. Branchlets subcylindrical, smooth, glaucescent. Leaves alternate, small (2-13 \u00d7 0.75-1.25 mm), obovate, linear-lanceolate or linear-spatulate, obtuse but mucronate, glabrous, sessile, promptly caducous. Inflorescence in long terminal racemes, spiciform (10-30 flowers). Flowers very small (3-5 mm in diameter) hermaphrodite, subsessile. Calyx wide, dome-shaped, with 8 green sepals, linear-oblong, acute. Corolla fused to the calyx, with 8 very small petals (3.5 mm long), suborbicular, yellowish-white, barely visible since they are only slightly longer than the calyx. Stamens numerous, usually 16, of the same length or slightly longer than the petals. Fruit a small subglobose capsule, with 4(6) sides and 2(3) triangular terminal teeth, densely papillose, papery. Seeds 2-6, very small (1.5-1.7 \u00d7 1.3-1.5 mm), reniform in aspect, yellowish at first and then brown, with tuberculate-rugose surface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-12948","species","type-species","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nRandonia africana Coss. - North Africa Trees<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Randonia africana Coss. - North Africa Trees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Subshrub, deciduous, erect, up to 1.20 m in height, highly ramose.
