DescriptionThe leaves of Landolphia kirkii are oblong and sometimes ovate and can reach up to {{convert|9|cm}} in length. They are glossy green coloured from above, and have a channeled midrib. They have 10-12 pairs of lateral veins, with a net-veining that is slightly raised just above the midrib, that is pubescent underneath. The inflorescence has many flowers, which are white or creamy-yellow coloured and have a diameter of {{convert|1|cm}}. The flowers also have a tube that is {{convert|3.5|–|4|mm}} long. The green fruits are spherical with a diameter of {{convert|15|cm}}, and are edible.[2] SystematicsThe specific epithet kirkii commemorates John Kirk, a companion of David Livingstone, who traveled to Zambezia for an expedition in 1858.[2] The Bungo fruit widely growing on Pemba and Zanzibar islands in the Indian Ocean highly likely belongs to this species.{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} References1. ^{{PLANTS|id=LAKI2|taxon=Landolphia kirkii|accessdate=29 May 2015}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web |title=Landolphia kirkii Dyer ex Hook. f.|url= http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=144970|work= Flora of Zimbabwe|accessdate=May 31, 2013}} External links
