South African Uqume finely cut root
This South African Uqume is a finely cut root material offered in 25 g, 100 g and 500 g packs. The supplier catalogues it as Rhus pauciflorus. For modern botanical comparison, South African National Biodiversity Institute records the isiZulu name uqhume for Hippobromus pauciflorus.
Identity and current naming
The difference in names is worth understanding before purchase. Authoritative current taxonomy accepts Hippobromus pauciflorus in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae; the historical name Rhus pauciflora is treated as a synonym. The supplier spelling Rhus pauciflorus remains the identity printed for this item, while Uqume provides the common-name link.
SANBI describes Hippobromus pauciflorus as a small to medium tree occurring in northern and eastern South Africa, Eswatini and southern Mozambique. Its South African range includes the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Gauteng. This regional profile is consistent with the declared country, but it does not identify the exact collection locality of the material.
Pack and cut guide
- Material: root
- Cut: finely cut pieces, not powder
- Declared origin: South Africa
- Pack choices: 25 g, 100 g or 500 g
- Catalogue identity: Uqume, Rhus pauciflorus
- Current botanical reference: Hippobromus pauciflorus
The cut format preserves visible pieces rather than reducing the root to a uniform powder. That makes it a distinct choice for a botanical collection or material-led project. Choose the pack by the quantity genuinely required: 25 g is the smallest listing, 100 g the middle option and 500 g the bulk format.
Responsible handling context
SANBI cautions that extracts made from the roots and leaves of Hippobromus pauciflorus are poisonous. This is therefore not an ordinary culinary root, and the page makes no consumption, preparation or dose recommendation. Keep the product identity attached to the material and handle it as a specialist botanical rather than a food ingredient.
A precise selection
The useful purchasing facts are the root plant part, fine cut, South African origin and three weights. The modern name adds clarity without changing the supplied item. Browse other clearly specified materials in Smart Seeds & Herbs.
