Brachystegia spiciformis, commonly known as zebrawood or msasa, is a medium-sized African tree having compound leaves and racemes of small fragrant green flowers.
The tree is broad and has a distinctive amber and wine red colour when the young leaves sprout during spring (August–September). It grows in savanna, both open woodland and closed woodland of Southern and Eastern Africa, mostly Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique.
