They are found in Central and West Africa and are closely related to the genus Cola.[ Both share a leaf structure with entire margins, featuring a cuneate base, three main veins, a pulvinus at the petiole tip, weak brochidodromous secondary veins, and multicellular glandular hairs on the epidermis.]
