サン人
Known as "choje" to the indigenous San people, the quiver tree gets its English common name from the San people practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of "Aloidendron dichotomum" to form quivers for their arrows. The specific epithet "dichotomum" refers to how the stems repeatedly branch into two ("dichotomous" branching) as the plant grows. This species was moved to the genus "Aloidendron" as "Aloidendron dichotomum" in 2013.
