Aningeria adolfi-friederici is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae, a tall, tropical forest tree.

It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

[7] Aningeria adolfi-friederici is a typical climax species of mature forest; it has a small crown which is higher than the surrounding canopy.

[8] In Kenya, it grows in lowland and montane dry evergreen forest habitats in the company of Suregada procera and Afrocarpus gracilior.

In traditional medicine, the tree's bark has been used to treat stomach problems and the fruit, to expel tape worms, but when used for this purpose it is rather slow-acting and moderately toxic.
