Abstract | A new member of *Rhoicissus* is described, illustrated, compared with other members of the genus and named *R. sekhukhuniensis* Retief, Siebert & A.E.van Wyk. It occurs mainly in the geographical area called Sekhukhuneland, situated in the Mpumalanga and Northern Provinces of South Africa. *R. sekhukhuniensis* is a scandent shrub, characterised by a dense indumentum of reddish brown hair on young growth, with older parts being more or less glabrous. It is closely related to *R. tomentosa* (Lam.) Wild & R.B.Drumm, but can be distinguished by its trifoliolate leaves with coarsely toothed margins. Pollen are tricolporate with a reticulate tectum. Plants flower in October/November (early summer), with few-flowered inflorescences. Fruits are reddish, ripening to black, and edible with a pleasant grape-like flavour. Plants grow among boulders in mountainous regions with a mean annual rainfall of 300-500 mm, on dry, warm slopes and on clayey soils derived from ultramafic rocks. [15324] (D.
