Xanthocercis zambesiaca, also known as the nyala tree or mshatu, is a legume species found in the southern subtropics of Africa. It grows in hot, low-lying river valleys in countries such as Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. These trees thrive in areas with plentiful moisture and deep, fertile soil, often growing on alluvium or termite mounds. While they are sparsely found in the eastern lowveld of Southern Africa, they are more abundant in the Limpopo valley and along the Shashe River in the Tuli Block, where they are known as mshatu trees. The foliage and fruit of the nyala tree provide food for various vertebrates during autumn and winter. Additionally, the nyala tree is a phreatophyte, meaning it indicates the presence of ground water. The wood of the nyala tree can be worked and has a smooth appearance, but the process can cause irritation to the nose and throat.
