- Burchellia is a [[genus in the family [[Rubiaceae, native to the [[Cape floristic region of southernmost Africa. It contains a single species, Burchellia bubalina, commonly named the "wild pomegranate" (English) or wildegranaat (Afrikaans). The species is widely cultivated in frost-free gardens as an ornamental tree, and has become a weed in some regions. A small shrub or tree to 8 metres, the species has red flowers, grey-green bark and dark green leaves. This name was revised by [[John Sims in the species' first description in [[Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1822. He gives this account of the earlier taxonomic history: "In the [[Supplementum Plantarum of the [[Carolus Linnaeus the Younger|younger Linnæus this plant was referred to the genus [[Lonicera, but as it belongs to the natural order of [[Rubiaceae it will by no means associate with that genus. [[Christian Hendrik Persoon|Persoon joined it with Swartz's Cephælis, the Tapocomea of [[Aublet and [[Bernard de Jussieu; but [[Robert Brown (botanist)|Mr. Brown not finding it to accord with any established genus, has considered it as distinct from any, and given it the name of Burchellia in honour of Mr. [[William John Burchell|Burchell, a very enterprising traveller in Southern Africa, who has favoured the public with an interesting account of his travels in that country. And, certainly, persons who, in spite of deprivations and difficulties, spend a large portion of their valuable time in such hazardous undertakings, for the promotion of science, merit this only reward of the botanist; but we can by no means approve of altering the specific name, which, when once established, should remain inviolate, except for very particular reasons; we have therefore thought it right to restore the name of bubalina. " [[Image:Botanical Magazine 2339 (pl) Burchellia bubalina. png|thumb|Pl. 2339 of [[Curtis's Botanical Magazine Following the formal description, he wrote as follows: Burchellia bubalina is a native of the [[Cape of Good Hope, where it is called Buffelhorn or Buffaloe-Horn, a name given it by the colonists from the extreme hardness of its wood. Flowers in the spring or summer. Requires to be protected from frost and we believe has seldom blossomed in this country without the assistance of the heat of the stove. Communicated by [[Loddiges|Messrs. Loddiges and Sons. The name of the genus was given in honour of [[William John Burchell, an African explorer.
