Ctenolophon is the only genus in the flowering plant family Ctenolophonaceae.[3] It has two recognized species:[4][5]
- Ctenolophon englerianus Mildbr. - central Africa (Nigeria, Gabon, Zaire, Angola)
- Ctenolophon parvifolius Oliv. - New Guinea and southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, Philippines )
This species is well-represented in fossil pollen from the Late Cretaceous onwards. Based on fossils, it was formerly also found in northern South America, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Indian Subcontinent.[1][6]
