Taxon

Coleonema pulchellum

.
.
Common name: Klipboegoe, Konfettibos, Confetti bush
Family: Rutaceae (Rue)
Distribution: Eastern Cape, Western Cape
National red list: Least Concern
Comments: As the fruit ripens, the seed in each chamber splits along the inner side and through drying and contracting of the inner layer, forcibly ejects the seed. This is known as ballistic dispersal. The seed is dispersed away from the mother plant and collected by ants.
