hang downwards, while those of the mnondo are biggest in the middle so they do not hang in the same way. Secondly, the mnondo blooms later than the msasa, in mid-summer (around
January). Although the flowers are just as insignificant as those of the msasa, the mnondo pods are concentrated at the top and sides of the tree and are readily visible in late summer, unlike the msasa's that are among the leaves. The mnondo also has a less impressive shape and lighter branches so it is less attractive in appearance.

smaller (12–13 meters is a large specimen). There it is also deciduous but sometimes stands bare for two months or more. During spring it displays a bright red foliage, and in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi it joins the Msasa's springtime leaf show in late August. It is not as variable in its leaf colours as the msasa and the red colour fades back to green more quickly.
273:
The mnondo closely resembles the msasa in many ways and the two are not easy to tell apart, especially in the southern parts of the mnondo's range where they are much closer in size. The distinguishing feature is that the leaflets on the msasa increase in size towards the end of the leaf, making them

The mnondo occurs away from the coast except at the southern limit of its range. It prefers a hot dry resting season and plenty of rain in the summer growing season. It grows best where there is a definite contrast between day and night temperatures and does best at altitudes of 1,000 metres or more
269:
The mnondo is a medium-sized tree, but larger towards the north of its range. In the northern half of its range, it is generally 15–16 meters tall but can grow up to 18 meters. There it is deciduous but may not lose all of its leaves before producing new ones. In the southern half, it is usually
