Terminalia ivorensis (also called 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.[1] 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.[2]
In Ecuador its pathogen Rostraureum tropicale causes basal stem cankers on introduced trees.
