Pterocarpus soyauxii is a species of tree native to central and tropical west Africa. It grows to 27–34 m tall, with a trunk diameter up to 1 m and flaky reddish-grey bark. The leaves are pinnate, with 11–13 leaflets, and the flowers are produced in panicles. The fruit is a thorny pod 6–9 cm long, which does not split open at maturity. The leaves are edible and contain large amounts of vitamin C, and the bark extracts are used in herbal medicine. The wood is valuable, durable, and red at first, becoming purplish-brown on exposure to light. It is resistant to termites and is valued for making drums in Africa due to its tonal resonance, as well as for its use in stringed instruments. Dust from the wood produced during wood processing can cause dermatitis in some people. Native African names include Kisese, Mbel, Mukula, N'gula, and Tacula.
