''Millettia stuhlmannii'', commonly known as panga panga, is a well-known species of timber tree that is native to the southeastern Afrotropics. The alternative name partridge wood refers to the light and dark patterns of its heartwood, which is said to form ‘partridge-breast’ figures.〔 The wood of the tropical species ''M. laurentii'' has similar qualities and uses, but is slightly darker, and lacks the copious yellowish white resin of the heartwood vessels.〔 Its foliage is similar to that of ''Pterocarpus rotundifolius'', and it may be confused with the latter when observed from a distance. ==Range and status== It is found in southern Tanzania, eastern Zimbabwe, Mozambique and very locally in the Venda region of South Africa.〔At Ha-Makhuvha (22°46'S 30°23'E) where 159 specimens were left in 2007. See: T. Mutshinyalo, 2011.〕 Though locally common or even dominant, over-utilization may deplete many populations. Besides harvesting for timber, their numbers are also depleted by unsustainable harvesting of bark and roots, which are employed for medicinal and magical purposes.〔
