Piliostigma malabaricum is a small (sometimes ornamental) tree species in the family Fabaceae.[2] It was previously placed in the genus Bauhinia, but names changed with reorganisation of the subfamily Cercidoideae[3] and the tribe Bauhinieae.[4]
This species is native to Tropical Asia and N. Australia;[5] it has been called the "Purple Orchid Tree" (although not to be confused with Bauhinia purpurea or Bauhinia variegata) and names in Vietnamese are: chân trâu and móng bò tai voi. There are no intraspecific names according to Plants of the World Online.[5]
