Garcinia stuhlmannii is a species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae. It is a tree endemic to Tanzania.[2]
It is native to the East and West Usambara Mountains, Uluguru Mountains, Udzungwa Mountains (including the Kihansi Gorge), and Pemba Island. It grows in submontane and montane forests.[1]
Commercial use
The tree's seeds are a source of edible oil long used by local populations and at one time exported as a government run business . An infrastructure is being developed for international scale commercial use Archived 2004-12-24 at the Wayback Machine. 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 .
