Terminalia ivorensis, otherwise known as Black Afara, Ivory Coast Almond, Idigbo, Framire, and Emire, is a large deciduous tree commonly found in Western Africa and is threatened by habitat loss due to poor regeneration and timber exploitation. It reaches a height of up to 46 m and a trunk diameter of up to 4.75 m. Its bole is exceptionally straight with small buttresses at the base. The crown is flat-topped and spreads horizontally. No plant part is edible. However, it is highly valued medicinally and for its high quality wood. Various plant parts are used as remedies for a wide range of conditions such as wounds, sores, hemorrhoids, rheumatism, ulcers, blennorrhea, and kidney problems. A fast-growing tree, T. ivorensis is ideal as pioneer species for reforestation projects.
