Distemonanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Dialioideae.[1] It contains a single species, Distemonanthus benthamianus, a deciduous tree,[2] which occurs widely but sparsely in the forest regions of Tropical West and Central Africa; it is sometimes confused with Pericopsis laxiflora due to similar morphological features.[3]
Mature heartwood has a moderate resistance to fungi.
