Millettia stuhlmannii, commonly known as panga panga, is a well-known species of timber tree[1] that is native to the southeastern Afrotropics. The wood of the tropical species M. laurentii has similar qualities and uses, but is slightly darker, and lacks the copious yellowish white resin of the heartwood vessels.[2] Its foliage is similar to that of Pterocarpus rotundifolius, and it may be confused with the latter when observed from a distance.
Panga Panga is often mistakenly called Partridge Wood, this is incorrect and an entirely different Genus.[3]
