Cynometra browneoides

Cynometra browneoides is a species of evergreen tree in the family Fabaceae, native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its dense, glossy foliage and a unique, spreading canopy that can provide significant shade. The tree produces small, inconspicuous flowers, followed by fruit that is typically flat and leathery. It is often found in lowland forests, thriving in well-drained soils and humid, tropical climates. Cynometra browneoides is not only valued for its ecological role in maintaining forest biodiversity but also has potential uses in traditional medicine and as a timber resource in some regions.
