Garcinia afzelii is a species of small to medium tree in the family Clusiaceae. It is native to west and west-central tropical Africa, ranging from Guinea to Ghana and from Nigeria to Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, and the Central African Republic.[2][4] It is sometimes called "bitter kola", but this name properly refers to G. kola.[5]
It grows as an understory tree lowland tropical rain forest, riverine forest, and gallery forest, and at forest edges in the Upper Guinean forests, Lower Guinean forests, and western Congolian rainforests.[6]
