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