Bersama abyssinica is a species of medium-sized evergreen tree in the Melianthaceae family. The leaves are pinnately divided with a strongly winged rachis (hence the common name winged bersama).[1] The inflorescence is a spike.
This species is distributed across sub-Saharan Africa and includes two subspecies:[2]
- B. abyssinica Fresen. subsp. abyssinica Fresen.
- B. abyssinica Fresen. subsp. rosea (Hoyle) Mikkelsen[3]
The subspecies rosea is endemic to Tanzania, where it is considered vulnerable.[4]
Bersama abyssinica produces a hard, heavy wood that is used in the construction of houses in West Africa.[5]
