Description
It looks very similar to its close relative Searsia glauca but has larger leaflets. It was previously classified as Rhus laevigata
Range & habitat
This species is primarily coastal, occurring in coastal dunes along the western and southern coast of the former Cape Province, South Africa. The low-growing variety villosa, with hairy (villose) leaflets, is exclusively coastal. However, the hairless variety Searsia laevigata var. laevigata, while occurring along the coast, also extends inland as far as the Little Karoo in the north, and Bredasdorp in the west.
