Parkia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae.[2] Several species are known as African locust bean.
In 1995, about 31 species were known.[3] Four more species were outlined in 2009.[4]
Parkia species are found throughout the tropics, with four species in Africa, about ten in Asia, and about 20 in the neotropics. The neotropical species were revised in 1986.[5]
