Cynometra alexandri : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cynometra alexandri
The Uganda ironwood or Muhimbi (''Cynometra alexandri'') is a species of legume that occurs in tropical lowland forests of central and east Africa. They grow gregariously in drier forest types and as a constituent of swamp forests. They reach some to in height,〔 and larger trees often develop hollow boles and buttress roots.〔 ==Occurrence== In Uganda it is widespread in the lowland forests (below 2,000 metres a.s.l) in the Western Rift Escarpment, where it shows a tendency toward monospecific dominance. After initial colonising, a mixed forest would contain Uganda ironwood, ''Alstonia congensis'', ''Trichilia prieuriana'', ''Khaya anthotheca'' and ''Celtis mildbraedii''. When climax forest develops at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,200 m, Uganda ironwood becomes highly dominant. Though a common species, its range has been reduced by wood cutting, large scale farming and subsistence cultivation.
