Anogeissus is a genus of trees in the family Combretaceae.^[1] The 10^[2] to 12 species are distributed in Asia and tropical Africa.^[3] Plants of the World Online now refers to this genus as a synonym of Terminalia L.^[4]

These are trees and shrubs with tubular flowers that lack petals and dry fruits with ridges or wings.^[2]
