Die rankmelkappelkoos[2] (Ancylobothrys[3] petersiana (Klotzsch) Pierre) is 'n geoksiel wat inheems aan Suid-Afrika, Eswatini en Mosambiek is. Dit kom veral is die kuswoud van Maputaland voor. Op die SANBI-rooilys word dit as 'veilig' gelys.[4] Dit kom ook in Zimbabwe en verder tot Kenia en op Madagaskar voor. [5]
Die plant het 'n melkerige sap en die takke het dikwels opvallende lentiselle. Die blare is min of meer dik leeragtig en ellipties of omgekeerd-eiervormig. Die vrugte is sferies, vlesig en 4,5- 6 cm in deursnee.[5] Dit is 'n immergroen klimplant of struik wat veral oor ander bome en bossies groei en houtige stamme tot 6 m lank of meer kan hê wat tot 2 – 5 cm in deursnee kan word. Dit kry wit en welriekende blomme en vrugte wat die kleur van appelkose het en wat baie gewild is. Die plant word dikwels vir sy vrugte deur mense beskerm.[1]

Ancylobothrys petersiana grows as a climbing shrub up to 6 metres (20 ft) tall. Its fragrant flowers feature a creamy or white corolla. Fruit is spherical, up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) in diameter. Vernacular names include "climbing wild apricot". Habitat is woodland and rocky hillsides.[3] A. petersiana is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, South Africa, the Comoros and Madagascar.[4]
The fruit contains edible pulp with a sour taste around the many seeds. It can be eaten out of hand or prepared into a sweetened juice, and it is sold in local markets for this purpose.[5]
