About Grewia bicolor Juss.
Grewia bicolor Juss. is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It has a number of common names: bastard brandy bush, false brandy bush, two-coloured grewia, white-leaved grewia, white-leaved raisin, white raisin, and donkey berry — the last name is shared with Grewia flavescens. This species is native to sub-Saharan Africa, Yemen, Oman, and the Indian subcontinent. In Africa, Grewia bicolor is one of the most important forages during the dry season. All wild and domestic herbivores find it palatable, and it is particularly enjoyed by giant eland (Taurotragus derbianus) and domestic goats (Capra aegagrus hircus). Caterpillars of Anaphe reticulata have been recorded feeding on its foliage.
