Terminalia ivorensis (Ivory Coast almond)

Wikipedia Abstract

Terminalia ivorensis (also called Ivory Coast almond, idigbo, black afara, framire, emeri and various other names) is a species of tree in the family Combretaceae. It is found in Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. It is threatened by habitat loss. The wood, used as lumber, has a density of about 560 kg per cubic metre. The wood is a pale yellow-brown in colour, seasons well with little movement in service, but is generally of low strength. The durable heartwood is used in joinery and high-class furniture.
