Cephalosphaera is a unique genus of flowering plants that belongs to the nutmeg family, Myristicaceae. It is made up of only one species, Cephalosphaera usambarensis, which is a tree that can be found in the moist evergreen forests of Kenya and Tanzania. This genus is closely related to the genus Brochoneura, which is native to Madagascar. Cephalosphaera is limited to small areas in the Usambara, Nguru, Uluguru, and Udzungwa mountains in Tanzania, as well as the Shimba Hills in Kenya. It is typically found in transitional rain forests, a type of plant community found on mountain slopes above 800 meters elevation, and sometimes in lower elevations near streams.
