Cynometra beddomei is a species of tree in the family Fabaceae. It was described from a single tree in the Kerala Western Ghats of India . In 1998 it was declared extinct as it had never been seen again since 1870.[2]
Trees of the species have subsequently been identified in several parts of Kerala and southern Karnataka. The IUCN Status was updated to reflect this in 2020.[3][1] It is threatened by habitat loss.
