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)

Ctenolophonaceae includes a single genus, Ctenolophon, with three species from West Africa and Malesia. They may be recognized by their opposite toothless leaves, and there are stipules between the petioles. The inflorescences are terminal, and the flower buds are rather elongated.

Ctenolophon, the sole genus in this family, contains several species, primarily native to West Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. While not widely cultivated, these plants can be found in various habitats, from rainforests to drier regions. Their ability to thrive in diverse conditions demonstrates their resilience and adaptability.

Ctenolophon englerianus Mildbr. is endemic to West Africa. The wood of this species is very strong, and is widely used as building material in local regions. In this study, we determined its complete plastome sequence.
