Cynometra (from Greek calque of puki anjing, local Malay name for C. cauliflora according to Rumphius[2]) is genus of tropical forest trees with a pantropical distribution.[1]

Species of Cynometra are particularly important as forest components in West Africa and the Neotropics. Cynometra alexandri (muhimbi) is a familiar timber tree of central and east Africa.

The genus is a member of the subfamily Detarioideae. Prior to 2019, Cynometra was considered to be polyphyletic and in need of revision.[3] In that year, botanist Aleksandar Radosavjevic recircumscribed this genus by including all species from Maniltoa and removing African species having jointed pedicels and dehiscent fruits.[4]
