Lamphu

Lamphu is a genus of plants in the family Fabaceae. The genus is native to Southeast Asia. Members of the genus Lamphu are trees that can grow to be quite large. They are known for their hard, durable wood, which is often used for construction and furniture making. The bark of some Lamphu species is also used in traditional medicine.

The flowers of Lamphu are typically white or pale yellow and are borne in clusters. The fruit is a pod that contains several seeds. The seeds are hard and brown and are dispersed by animals. Lamphu trees are important components of tropical rainforest ecosystems, providing food and habitat for a variety of wildlife.

Several species are recognized within the genus Lamphu, though their taxonomy is subject to ongoing research. The precise distribution and conservation status of each species can vary. Efforts are being made to study and conserve these valuable tree species, particularly in areas where deforestation is a concern.
