Allanblackia stuhlmannii is a species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae. It is found only in Tanzania.

Commercial use

The tree's seeds are a source of edible oil [1] long used by local populations and at one time exported as a government run business [2]. An infrastructure is being developed for international scale commercial use [3] [4]. It is hoped that by commercializing non-timber forest products and increasing the value of forests for local people this will result in their help in conserving this natural resource [5].
