Distribution of the Detarieae.

Tamarindus indica flower.

The tribe Detarieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae (the family which includes the legumes). This tribe includes many tropical trees, some of which are used for timber or have ecological importance. The tribe consists of 81 genera, 53 of which are native to Africa. Pride of Burma (Amherstia nobilis) and tamarind (Tamarindus indica) are two of the most notable species in Detarieae.
