Brachystegia boehmii, named after the 19th-century German naturalist and collector Richard Böhm,[1] is a flat-topped tree with a spreading crown, native to eastern and southern Africa.

It forms an important component of miombo woodland, and occurs in Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.

New spring foliage is pink to brick-red, turning buff or yellow to pale green, maturing to a much darker colour.

Bark is grey to brown, rough, and somewhat coarsely reticulate, narrowly fissured and transversely cracked.

In Shona culture, infusions of the tree leaf have traditionally been used for treatment of constipation and lumbago amongst other things.
