Summary

Berlinia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes 21 species of trees native to sub-Saharan Africa, ranging from Guinea to Chad, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Angola. All species of Berlinia have "explosive" pods, casting the seeds, in the case of the recently discovered Berlinia korupensis, up to 50 metres away. Species of Berlina grow in the Guineo–Congolian forest of equatorial western and central Africa, and in the transitional forest–savanna mosaic belts north and south of the forest region. Fossil pollen attributable to the genus is known from the Eocene (Ypresian) of Africa....read more on Wikipedia.
