Sanjappa cynometroides is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is a tree native to southwestern India.[1]
The species was first described as Calliandra cynometroides by Richard Henry Beddome in 1873. In 2016 Élvia R. Souza and Moothedathu Krishnaraj placed it in the newly-described genus Sanjappa as Sanjappa cynometroides.[1] The genus is named in honour of Dr. Munivenkatappa Sanjappa, former Director of the Botanical Survey of India.[2]
