Schefflerodendron
Genus of legumes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schefflerodendron is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes four species of trees native to tropical Africa, ranging from Cameroon to Tanzania and Angola. They grow in tropical rain forest and seasonally-dry forest, including disturbed areas. Three species are native to the Guineo-Congolian forests of west-central Africa, and one species (S. usambarense) also extends to the Zanzibar-Inhambane coastal forests of Tanzania.[1]
