Olea chimanimani is an olive shrub or small tree, growing 2âÂÂ3 meters tall, in the family Oleaceae. It is found only in the Chimanimani Mountains (whence its name), which lay on the border dividing Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Confined only to a relatively small (600 km<sup>2</sup>) area, it is locally common, growing in scrub vegetation among quartzite cliffs.
