Baphia

Baphia is a small genus of legumes that bear simple leaves.[3] Baphia is from the Greek word βάπτω (báptō-, "to dip" or "to dye"), referring to a red dye that is extracted from the heartwood of tropical species.[3][4] The genus is restricted to the African tropics. Baphia was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae;[5] however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Baphia to the tribe Baphieae.[6][7][8][9]
