Species of genus Parinari are found in Subsaharan Africa from Senegal to Sudan and Kenya and south to Namibia and Natal; in Eastern Madagascar; from Indochina through Indonesia, New Guinea, northern Queensland, and the southwest Pacific; and in Central and South America from Costa Rica to Trinidad and southern Brazil.[2][1] The oldest fossils of Parinari fruits are from the early Miocene of Ethiopia, Panama, and Colombia.[1]

The genus is closely related to Neocarya.[3]
