Erythrophysa transvaalensis (Bushveld red balloon, Afrikaans: Bosveld-rooiklapperbos, Tswana: Mofalatsane) is a species of plant in the family Sapindaceae. It is a protected tree in South Africa .[2] It is found in Botswana, South Africa , and Zimbabwe. Its range is disjunct however, so that suggestions have been made that its seeds were formerly employed as beads, which assisted its dispersal along ancient trade routes.[3]
