About Euclea racemosa subsp. daphnoides (Hiern) F.White
Euclea racemosa, commonly called the sea guarrie or dune guarrie, is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree. This subspecies is Euclea racemosa subsp. daphnoides (Hiern) F.White. Euclea racemosa is indigenous to the Indian Ocean coast of Africa, ranging from Egypt to South Africa; it also grows in Comoros, Oman, and Yemen. It has leathery foliage that can be exceptionally even and dense, which makes it an ideal plant for hedges. It is a dioecious tree, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate individual trees. It produces small white flowers, which are followed by red, purple, and black fruits that attract birds. Local people use the berries to make "Guarrie vinegar". The common name guarrie appears to derive from the local Khoe language, where it is spelled gwarri.
