Parinari montana - MHNT
Species of genus Parinari are found in Subsaharan Africa from Senegal to Sudan and Kenya and south to Namibia and Natal; in Eastern Madagascar; from Indochina through Indonesia, New Guinea, northern Queensland, and the southwest Pacific; and in Central and South America from Costa Rica to Trinidad and southern Brazil.[1][2] The oldest fossils of Parinari fruits are from the early Miocene of Ethiopia, Panama, and Colombia.[2]
The genus is closely related to Neocarya.[3]
Parinari can be distinguished from other genera in Chrysobalanaceae by the following characteristics:[4]
- zygomorphic floral symmetry
 - 6-10 unilaterally-attached stamens per flower
 - ovary at side or mouth of receptacle-tube
 - leaf lower surface lanate and with hair-filled stomatal cavities and parallel secondaries closely spaced
 - pair of glands on leaf petiole
 - large, woody fruits
