Cynometra beddomei is a species of tree in the family Fabaceae, described from a single tree in the Western Ghats of Kerala in southwestern India. In 1998, it was declared extinct as it had never been seen again since 1870.[2]
Trees of the species have subsequently been identified in several parts of Kerala and southern Karnataka. This tree is found in streamside submontane evergreen and semi-evergreen forests from 700 to 1,000 metres elevation. The IUCN Status was updated to reflect this in 2020.[3][1] It is threatened by habitat loss.
The species was first described by David Prain in 1897.[4]
