Scottellia klaineana is a species of tree native to West and Central Africa. It usually grows to a height of about 20 m (66 ft) but can grow taller. It has a straight, cylindrical trunk up to 70 cm (28 in) in diameter, and may have flutings or buttresses at the base. The timber is used for construction, panelling, joinery, furniture-making, cabinet work, carpentry, flooring, stairs, turnery and veneers.[2]
