Cynometra

	Cynometra ''Cynometra'' (from Greek language, Greek calque of ''puki anjing'', local Malay name for ''Cynometra cauliflora, C. cauliflora'' according to Georg Eberhard Rumphius, Rumphius) is genus of tropical forest trees with a pantropical distribution. Species of ''Cynometra'' are particularly important as forest components in West Africa and the Neotropics. ''Cynometra alexandri'' (muhimbi) is a familiar timber tree of central and east Africa. The genus is a member of the subfamily Detarioideae. It has been suggested that ''Cynometra'' is polyphyly, polyphyletic and is in need of revision. In 2019, beside description of 4 new species (i.e. ''Cynometra cerebriformis'', ''Cynometra dwyeri, C. dwyeri'', ''Cynometra steyermarkii, C. steyermarkii'' and ''Cynometra tumbesiana, C. tumbesiana''), suggested that the species formerly recognized as ''Maniltoa'' should be included in this genus and some of the mainland tropical African species (those with asterisk in the list below) excluded from ...

	Cynometra Alexandri ''Cynometra alexandri'', the Uganda ironwood or muhimbi, is a species of legume that occurs in tropical lowland forests of central and east Africa. They grow gregariously in drier forest types and as a constituent of swamp forests. They reach some to in height, and larger trees often develop hollow boles and buttress roots. Taxonomy According to (2019), ''Cynometra alexandri'' along with other mainland tropical African (but not all) species of the genus ''Cynometra'' should be excluded from the genus and will be transferred to a new as yet un-named genus in the future. Distribution and habitat In Uganda it is widespread in the lowland forests (below 2,000 metres a.s.l) in the Western Rift Escarpment, where it shows a tendency toward monospecific dominance. After initial colonising, a mixed forest would contain Uganda ironwood, '' Alstonia congensis'', '' Trichilia prieuriana'', '' Khaya anthotheca'' and '' Celtis mildbraedii''.
