Nuxia floribunda (forest elder, forest nuxia or wild elder) is a species of tree, native to Africa. It usually grows to between 3 and 10 metres tall, although it occasionally may grow as tall as 25 metres. It has a crooked trunk, rough flaking bark and a rounded canopy. Large panicles of sweetly-scented small white to cream flowers are produced from autumn to spring.[1]

The species is native to South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.[1][2]
