Allanblackia floribunda, known in English as 'tallow tree', is a species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae that has been long used in traditional African medicine to treat hypertension.

It is fairly easy to work and finishes well but it is of little commercial importance though it has appeared on the market in Liberia as "lacewood".

In Ghana, small trees are cut for poles and used as mine pit props and bridge piles.

In Congo, a decoction of the bark or the leaves is taken for cough, asthma, bronchitis, and other bronchial affections while the lees from this preparation are rubbed over areas of pain after scarification.

The tree's fruit is not edible but its seeds are the source of Allanblackia Oil [1] long used by local populations.
