Allanblackia stuhlmannii is a species of flowering plant in the Clusiaceae family. It is found only in Tanzania.
The tree's seeds are a source of edible oil[1] long used by local populations and at one time exported as a government run business[2]. An infrastructure is being developed for international scale commercial use[3][4]. It is hoped that by commercializing non-timber forest products and increasing the value of forests for local people this will result in their help in conserving this natural resource[5].
