Caloncoba flagelliflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Achariaceae.[2][3] This rainforest tree is native to southern Cameroon, Gabon and the Congos. Traditionally placed in the Flacourtiaceae it has been reassigned to the small family Achariaceae. The inflorescences, which are panicles, are produced at or below ground level, are somewhat rhizomatous and can extend 12 m (39 ft) from the tree, and be up to 3 m (9.8 ft) wide.[4][5] The six-petaled white flowers rise just above the forest litter.
