Dombeya amaniensis is a flowering plant species found only in Tanzania. Formerly placed in the family Sterculiaceae, this artificial assemblage is now included in the Malvaceae by most authors.
Its relationships are not well determined. It seems to belong to an ill-defined
Mascarenes. Among the latter, D. delislei, D. elegans and D. punctata might be somewhat closer to the present species than the "rainforest group" around D. ciliata.[2]
Dombeya amaniensis is a rare tree of moist
habitat loss.[3]
