Podocarpus elongatus

.
.
Common name: Breëriviergeelhout, Breede River yellowwood
Family: Podocarpaceae (Podocarpus)
Distribution: Western Cape
IUCN Red list: Least concern
National red list: Least Concern
Comments: Unlike the other yellowwoods that are tall trees with long straight boles, Breede River yellowwoods are usually multi-stemmed and as broad as they are high. It is the smallest of the South African yellowwoods, commonly reaching no more than 6 m in height, although trees in sheltered, well-watered ravines can reach 20 m. It is most often found growing in open, dry and exposed positions where it develops into a large gnarled bush or spreading shrub, or a small rounded tree.
