Piliostigma malabaricum is a small (sometimes ornamental) tree species in the family Fabaceae.[2][3] It was previously placed in the genus Bauhinia, but names changed with reorganisation of the subfamily Cercidoideae[4] and the tribe Bauhinieae.[5]

This Asian species has been called the "Purple Orchid Tree" (although not to be confused with Phanera purpurea or Bauhinia variegata) and names in Vietnamese are: chân trâu and móng bò tai voi. The Catalogue of Life lists the subspecies P. malabaricum acidum.[2]
