Die Bosveldboekenhout (Faurea saligna) is 'n boom wat voorkom in KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo en Mpumalanga. In Limpopo groei dit teen rotsagtige hellings en langs rivieroewers in die ander twee provinsies. Die boom is klein tot middelgroot en lyk baie soos 'n bloekomboom. Die jong blare en blaarstele is pienk. Die blomme is groenerig tot romerig wit en ruik na heuning. Die blomme en vrugte word in dun katjies van omtrent 12 cm gedra. Die hout het 'n liggelerige rooi kleur met 'n pragtige kantagtige patroon.

Faurea saligna is a graceful, semi-deciduous tree of the family Proteaceae growing to about 10 metres, or up to 20 metres under forest conditions. Found from tropical Africa south to the Transvaal, Swaziland and Natal, often in large communities on sandy soil and along stream beds.
Its dark-grey to black bark is rough and deeply fissured, while the narrow drooping leaves are reminiscent of a willow (saligna meaning Salix-like). The timber was much-prized by the Voortrekkers for furniture and they named it Transvaal Boekenhout for the timber's resemblance to that of the European Beech. There are some 15 species of Faurea occurring in Africa and Madagascar.[2]
William Henry Harvey named the genus after William Caldwell Faure (1822-1844), a young soldier and enthusiastic botanist who was killed in India, and was the son of Cape Town Dutch Reformed minister Abraham Faure. Faure had accompanied Harvey on numerous botanising excursions, and had left the Cape for India in 1844 having received a commission in the East India Company's military service. He contracted cholera on arriving and was fortunate to recover. A few months later and in the company of a few fellow soldiers, he was shot by a sniper while crossing a ravine in a patch of forest, on the way to rejoining his regiment. He died after some twelve hours.[3]

Faurea saligna es un elegante árbol semi-caducifolio de la familia Proteaceae.
Alcanza un tamaño de unos 10 metros, o de hasta 20 metros por debajo del bosque. Se encuentra desde el África tropical al sur del Transvaal, Suazilandia y Natal, a menudo formando grandes comunidades en suelo de arena y junto a los lechos de los arroyos.
Es un árbol que alcanza un tamaño de hasta 17 (-20) m de altura, con tronco recto delgado y aspecto similar a un sauce; corteza de color gris oscuro a negro; madera de color amarillo pálido a rojo; hojas glaucas, glabras, con pecíolo largo (de 2 cm), agrupadas en los extremos de las ramillas.
Se encuentra en los bosques deBrachystegia o pastizales; común como árboles dispersos; a una altitud de 700-1800 metros.[1]
Su corteza es de color gris oscuro y es áspera y profundamente agrietada, mientras que las estrechas hojas caídas son una reminiscencia de un sauce (saligna significa como Salix). La madera fue muy apreciada para mobiliario.
Faurea saligna fue descrita por William Henry Harvey y publicado en London Journal of Botany 6: 373, t. 15. 1847.[2]
Faurea: nombre genérico que fue otorgado por William Henry Harvey en honor de William Caldwell Faure (1822-1844), un joven soldado y entusiasta botánico que fue asesinado en la India, y que era hijo de un ministro de la Iglesia reformada neerlandesa en la Ciudad del Cabo. Faure había acompañado a Harvey en numerosas excursiones botánicas, y había dejado el Cabo por la India en 1844 tras haber recibido una comisión de servicio militar de la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales. Contrajo el cólera al llegar y tuvo la suerte de recuperarse. Unos meses más tarde y en compañía de un par de compañeros de armas, fue baleado por un francotirador mientras cruzaba un barranco en un parche de bosque, en el camino de volver a incorporarse a su regimiento. Murió unas doce horas después.[3]
saligna: epíteto latíno que significa "como el sauce".
