Englerodendron is a small genus of legumes belonging to the family Fabaceae, that are native to tropical Africa.
It is found in the countries of Cameroon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Congo, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Zaire. [4]
The genus name of Englerodendron is in honour of Adolf Engler (1844–1930), a German botanist, [5] and also; Dendron, a Greek word meaning "tree". It was first published and described in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.40 on page 27 in 1907. [4]
A recent study indicates that an early Miocene (Aquitanian) tropical moist forest from Ethiopia may represent a monodominant forest dominated by a prehistoric species of Englerodendron, Englerodendron mulugetanum. [6]
