Parkia is a genus of about 35 tropical trees in the pea family, found in Africa, Asia and the Neotropics. Commonly grown members include the African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) and the nitta tree, which are grown for their edible seeds and pods, and the genus is usually grown as a large shade or fruit tree rather than a houseplant.
Parkia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. Several species are known as African locust bean.
In 1995, about 31 species were known. Four more species were outlined in 2009.
