Cadaba aphylla, commonly known as "Swartstorm", is a species of shrub or small tree native to southern Africa. It grows to a height of 2 meters, with succulent branches and spine-tipped tips. Its deep-red flowers (rarely yellow) in axillary clusters have prominently exserted stamens, making it a colourful plant in summer. Its fruits are green at first, turning a rusty brown when mature, and covered in sticky hairs. It is found in dry bushveld or semidesert conditions from tropical Africa to Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa, and as far south-west as the town of Montagu.
