Cordia platythyrsa is a tree found in Africa and is native to Cameroon, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Zaire.[1] The tree grows to over 30 m in height and 1 m in diameter.[2] The wood is pale yellow to almost white in color and used mainly for furniture making, interior joinery, domestic items, canoes, and musical instruments. It has low density (0.5 g/cm3) and is very soft (Monnin hardness 1.3),[3] with a spongy, fibrous texture.

Common names include West African Cordia, Ebe (Cameroon, Gabon), Omo (Nigeria), and Tweneboa (Ghana).

The species is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List of Threatened species.[4]
