Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Curtisia dentata (commonly known as the Assegai tree or Cape Lancewood) is a flowering tree from Southern Africa. It is the sole species in genus Curtisia, which was originally classed as a type of dogwood, but is now placed in its own unique family Curtisiaceae. It is increasingly popular as an ornamental tree for gardens, with dark glossy foliage and sprays of pure white berries. This tree gets its common name from the African spear - the Zulu Assegai - which was traditionally made from this tree''s strong wood. Its genus name, Curtisia, is from the botanist William Curtis (founder of The Botanical Magazine) and dentata is simply the Latin for toothed, referring to the slightly serrated margins of its leaves.
