What is another word for Genus Parkia?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs pˈɑːkiə] (IPA) 
Genus Parkia is a group of flowering plants that belong to the legume family. Sometimes, the term "African locust bean" is used as a synonym for genus Parkia, as the plant is native to Africa and the seeds of the plant resemble the pods of the locust tree. Additionally, the plant is sometimes referred to as "parkia biglobosa" due to the two-lobed shape of the seedpods. Another common synonym for this genus is "dawa-dawa," which is a local name used in parts of West Africa to refer to both the seeds of the parkia plant and the traditional condiment made from them.
