Scolopia mundii (Mountain Saffron, Red Pear or Klipdoring) is a South African tree of the Salicaceae family.
It has dark shiny foliage and bright yellow/orange berries. It is a very adaptable tree and occurs sporadically throughout South Africa, from Cape Town northwards as far as Limpopo.[1] The specific name commemorates Johannes Ludwig Leopold Mund, a German natural history collector who was active in the Cape until 1831.
