Carapa procera, called African crabwood, is a species of tree in the genus Carapa, native to the West African tropics and to the Amazon rainforest, and introduced to Vietnam.[2] Some authorities have split off the South American population into its own species, Carapa surinamensis.[3] The nuts are intensively collected in the wild for their oil, a non-timber forest product.[4] In tropical Africa, the species is increasingly threatened.[5]
