Cephalosphaera usambarensis is a rare forest tree from East Africa, the only species in its genus and a member of the nutmeg family, Myristicaceae. It is found only in moist evergreen mountain forests, so it is a specialist for large, humid tropical landscapes rather than a garden or houseplant.
Cephalosphaera usambarensis is a species of tree native to the moist evergreen forests of Kenya and Tanzania. It is the sole species in genus Cephalosphaera.
Cephalosphaera usambarensis is restricted to small areas in the Usambara, Nguru, Uluguru, and Udzungwa mountains of Tanzania and the Shimba Hills of Kenya.
