Robsonodendron maritimum (also known as white silky bark or witsybas) is a small, shrubby, evergreen tree that is indigenous to the coastal regions of South Africa.
Its natural range extends from Cape Town, along the coast as far as the Eastern Cape. [1] In very windy areas it tends to be shaped (and effectively pruned) by the wind. Its flowers are bisexual. [2]
