Combretum aculeatum is a species of flowering plant in the bushwillow genus Combretum, family Combretaceae. It is native to the Sahelian and Sudanian savannas and adjacent forest–savanna mosaic in Africa and Saudi Arabia, and has been introduced to Myanmar.[1] High in protein, it is greatly relished as a browse by wild and domesticated mammalian herbivores, except elephants.[2][3]
