Calodendrum

Calodendrum is a genus of medium-sized evergreen trees comprising two species from Africa.

Calodendrum capense, the Cape chestnut, is a well known tree that is widely cultivated, while Calodendrum eickii is a rare forest tree from Tanzania.

The botanical name comes from Greek, kalos means beautiful and dendrum means tree. Both species are harvested for their timber in Africa.[1]
