Botanic description
Khaya ivorensis is a very large tree that attains a height of 40-50 m and a dbh of up to 2 m. Bole straight, unbranched up to 30 m above the ground with well-developed plank buttresses; bark thick and coarse, reddish-brown, and with a bitter taste. The foliage of the widely spreading crown is dark. Leaves are evenly pinnate, with 4-7 pairs of leaflets, 7.5-14 cm long by 2.5-4.5 cm broad, oblong, abruptly long-acuminate at the apex (the tip very long and conspicuous in seedling and saplings); stalk of leaflets about 4 mm long. Flowers very many, small, white, in panicles at the ends of branchlets. Fruits rounded woody capsules usually with 5 valves, each valve 7.5-8.5 cm long and 2.5-4 mm thick, thinner than those of K. grandifoliola; when fully ripe, the valves open to release about 15 flat-winged seeds, each about 2.5 cm in diameter and narrowly winged all round.
