Zanha golungensis is a species of fruit plants from the family Sapindaceae that can be found in Cameroon[1] and Zimbabwe. The species reaches 18 metres (59 ft) in height, and has leaflets that come in 3–7 pairs. While young, the leaves are pubescent, and by maternity, they might become elliptically oblong. The plant's apex is often acuminated and obtuse, the base of which is cuneate. Their inflorescence is 1.5–2.0 centimetres (0.59–0.79 in) in diameter, which ends with a congested subspherical thyrse. The sepals are 2.0–2.5 millimetres (0.079–0.098 in) with petals ranging up to 2 × 1.5 cm. The fruit that the plant gives is either pink or yellow, and is both spherical and ellipsoid.[2]
