Guibourtia
Also called Bubingas
Guibourtia is a genus of about 16 tropical trees in the pea family, native to Africa and South America, grown mainly for their dense hardwood timber rather than as garden or house plants. Individual species are large forest trees reaching 40 to 50 m, so they are not practical to grow at home.
Guibourtia is a flowering plant genus in the family Fabaceae, also known by the common names as Rhodesian copalwood, African Rosewood, amazique, bubinga, kevazingo, and ovangkol.
The genus is used as tropical hardwood timber and is traded under the common names Bubinga, African rosewood, Amazoue, Amazique, Aevazingo, and Avangkol.
