A South African term for the quiver tree (Aloidendron dichotomum), a striking succulent tree that grows in the arid Namib and Karoo regions. The San people traditionally used hollowed branches as quivers for arrows, giving the tree its Afrikaans name. It is an iconic symbol of the Namaqualand and Namibian landscapes.
