Millettia stuhlmannii Taub., a plant of the genus Millettia in the Fabaceae family, has the trade names of Panga-panga and Jambire, and is commonly known as Yellow Wenge or African Wenge. Its wood is diffuse-porous wood. The heartwood is chocolate-colored or dark brown, with alternating light and dark stripes and quail feather-like patterns. The sapwood is light yellow (2.5-7.5 cm in width), and the distinction between heartwood and sapwood is obvious. The wood is heavy and hard, with medium strength and small shrinkage; its air-dry density ranges from 0.80 to 0.91 g/cm³. It has a medium and uniform structure, is decay-resistant and pest-resistant, and has few defects after drying. It is easy to blunt saws during processing, so pre-drilling is required. It is suitable for turning and wear-resistant scenarios.
This wood is mainly used in heavy construction, high-end flooring, rosewood furniture, musical instruments (pianos, violins), precision instruments, plywood, and carved handicrafts. The grain on its tangential section is more delicate than that of Millettia laurentii, with abundant deposits in vessel pores. Its outer bark is yellowish-brown with fine crackle-like patterns, and the inner bark is yellowish-white with thin brown stripes . In 2011, the quarantine pest Achatina fulica (Giant African Snail) was intercepted in the imported logs of this species at Fuzhou Port.

It has a luster. The grain is straight; the structure is medium; the wood is heavy and hard; the strength is medium; the shrinkage is small. Processing is slightly difficult, and it is easy to blunt saws; it has good wear resistance and turning property. It is difficult to drive nails into, so pre-drilling is necessary. It has strong decay resistance. It dries quickly with almost no defects. The wood is diffuse-porous wood; the sapwood is light yellow, with a width of 2.5-7.5 cm; the heartwood is chocolate-colored with alternating light and dark bands, or dark brown with white bands; the distinction between heartwood and sapwood is obvious, and the growth rings are distinct; the wood has a special quail feather-like pattern; the grain is generally straight, with a medium and uniform structure, and no special odor; it is highly decay-resistant; it has natural resistance to fungal rot and termite infestation; it contains abundant dark gum; the wood is hard and heavy, with an air-dry density of 0.80-0.91 g/cm³; it has high wear resistance, small shrinkage, and medium strength; it dries quickly; processing is slightly difficult, and it is easy to blunt saws; it is difficult to drive nails into, so pre-drilling is required.
The distinction between heartwood and sapwood is obvious, with a circle of black lines commonly seen at the junction. The heartwood is yellowish-brown to chocolate brown, with fine alternating light and dark stripes. It is diffuse-porous wood. The axial parenchyma is in paratracheal bands. The wood has a luster, straight grain, and a medium structure.
This wood is used in heavy construction, high-end flooring, high-end rosewood furniture and decorative materials, pianos, violins, plywood, precision instruments, carvings, and handicrafts.
The outer bark is yellowish-brown with fine crackle-like patterns. The inner bark is yellowish-white, with thin brown stripes on the oblique section. Compared with Millettia laurentii (Wenge), the wenge-like grain on the tangential section of Millettia stuhlmannii is more delicate, the color is more yellowish, and the deposits in the vessel pores are more abundant.
