Introduction '''''Airyantha''''' is a small genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It was named after the botanist Herbert Kenneth Airy Shaw. It was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned ''Airyantha'' into the Baphieae tribe.The genus contains two accepted species:* ''Airyantha borneensis'' (Oliv.) Brummitt – Borneo and Philippines* ''Airyantha schweinfurthii'' (Taub.) Brummitt – western and west-central tropical Africa, from Côte d'Ivoire to Democratic Republic of the Congo.
