Erythrophleum
Erythrophleum is a genus of about ten legume trees native to sub-Saharan Africa, Indochina, southern China and northern Australia; they are rarely grown as garden plants and are mainly known as timber and medicinal trees. Their bark and seeds contain strongly toxic alkaloids, so they are not suitable for home growing in most settings.
