Plagiosiphon is a genus of plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes five species of trees or shrubs native to west and west-central Africa. They grow in tropical lowland Guineo-Congolian rain forest, often along rivers, on rocky banks, or on hillsides. Four species are limited to Cameroon, Gabon, and Republic of the Congo in west-central Africa. Plagiosiphon emarginatus also grows in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Côte d'Ivoire in West Africa.[1]
