I am not sure about A. astroites. Also similar to pachycarpa ssp rugulifolia but fruits of both are different, as is the shape of the keel of the flowers, habit of the plant, the different bark, and the more swollen fruits. I have collected it at Kanetvlei and further west on the road up to the mid-altitude dam where it is common. @daniepalm
@mr_fab Brian, any ideas?
