Staminodianthus is a genus of trees (family Fabaceae) found in South America. It includes three species of trees, from small trees to six meters tall to large trees up to 40 m tall. They are native to the Amazon Basin of northern Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela, where they grow in humid non-flooded terra-firme forests on sandy or sandy loam soils, gallery forests, and highland savannas.[3]
A dichotomous key for the species is available.[4]
