Olea chimanimani

Olea chimanimani is an olive shrub or small tree, growing 2–3 meters tall, in the family Oleaceae. It is found only in the Chimanimani Mountains (whence its name), which lay on the border dividing Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Confined only to a relatively small (600 km²) area, it is locally common, growing in scrub vegetation among quartzite cliffs.[3][4]
