== Description ==

''Vitex madiensis'' has a shrubby to small-tree habit and can reach approximately 4–5 m. A massive underground woody rootstock may produce annual stems, an unusual feature to allow for when planning space and seasonal management. <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> The species occurs in tropical African woodland, wooded grassland and dense woodland, with records summarized from elevations of about 1,000–1,800 m. <sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> Its nomenclatural record places the species in the 1875 ''Transactions of the Linnean Society of London'' treatment. <sup id="cite_ref-5">[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup>

The fruit is reported as purple-black and about 25 mm long by 10–20 mm wide. The pulp is thin, sweet and mealy and clings to a stone containing 3–4 seeds. <sup>[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup>
