Pericopsis angolensis is a deciduous small to medium-sized tree of seasonally dry African woodland, valued as a timber tree, and rarely grown as an ornamental. It is not a common garden plant, so care depends on providing warm, dry-season conditions similar to its natural habitat.
Pericopsis angolensis is a deciduous small to medium-sized tree within the Fabaceae family.
Methanol and chloroform extracts of the species resulted in the isolation of 3,9-dimethoxypterocarpan, a derivative of Isoflavanoids and 3,4,3',5'-tetrahydroxystilbene, a stilbenol.
The species is native to Central and Tropical Africa, it is found in woodlands and wooded grassland. It is a common timber tree in the Miombo ecoregion.
