Monodora angolensis is a forest tree from tropical Africa, grown mainly as a specimen in botanic collections rather than as a garden or houseplant. Growing it depends on warm, humid, wet tropical conditions.
Monodora angolensis is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zaire. Friedrich Welwitsch, the Austrian botanist who first formally described the species, named it after Angola where he found it growing near the town of Pungo-Andongo.
It has been observed growing in a variety of forest types at elevations of 0–1,800 meters (0–5,906 ft).
