Millettia mossambicensis is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to central Mozambique, where it is fairly widespread in the low-lying woodlands and forests. [2] The small trees are over-exploited for local construction purposes. [2]
The leaves have two or three pairs of leaflets and one terminal leaflet which is largest. [2] Leaflets have 9 to 11 pairs of lateral, parallel veins. The purple-blue flowers are carried on racemes which appear in spring. [2]
