Xanthocercis is a tree genus in the family Fabaceae. It includes three species native to sub-Saharan Africa.[1][2][3]

  • Xanthocercis madagascariensis Baill. — endemic to Madagascar;[4] a deciduous tree, growing up to 30 metres tall.[5] The wood is highly valued, being harvested from the wild for local use and for export. The tree also provides an edible fruit that is used locally.
  • Xanthocercis rabiensis Maesen[6] — endemic to Gabon; a large, evergreen tree growing up to 40 metres tall. The straight, cylindrical bole can be up to 300 cm in diameter.
  • Xanthocercis zambesiaca (Baker) Dumaz-le-Grand (Mshatu tree) — native to Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe;[7] a large impressive, evergreen tree with an exceptional dense, rounded to wide-spreading crown of glossy, drooping, dark green leaves and sprays of small rose-scented, creamy white flowers.[8] It usually reaches 30m in height.[8] It is ideal for large gardens.

Members of this genus accumulate hydroxypipecolic acids and iminosugars in their leaves.[9]
