Cryptocarya woodii, also known as the Cape quince, is a plant found in southern and eastern Africa. It was named after botanist John Medley Wood. In the summer, the tree produces small, unnoticeable flowers. The fruit of the tree is dark purple-black and has a bumpy surface. When held up to light, the leaves of the tree reveal tiny secretory glands. This tree is also a host for the larvae of two butterfly species, Papilio euphranor and Charaxes xiphares.
