Cola boxiana is a species of medium tree in the Family Malvaceae. It is endemic to the lowland Eastern Guinean forests, or tropical rainforests, of Ghana. As with many tree species growing in these coastal rainforests, it is threatened by habitat loss.
Cauliflory is a botanical term referring to plants that flower and fruit from their main stems or woody trunks, rather than from new growth and shoots. This can allow trees to be pollinated or have their seeds dispersed by animals that climb on trunks and sturdy limbs to feed on the nectar and fruits. Plants may instead have fruit which drop from the canopy and ripen only after they reach the ground, an alternative "strategy" to cauliflory.
A genet is a member of the genus Genetta, which consists of 14 to 17 species of small African carnivorans. The common genet is the only genet present in Europe and occurs in the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and France.
Intsia bijuga, commonly known as Borneo teak, Johnstone River teak, Kwila, Moluccan ironwood, Pacific teak, scrub mahogany and vesi, is a species of flowering tree in the family Fabaceae, native to the Indo-Pacific. It ranges from Tanzania and Madagascar east through India and Queensland, Australia, Papua New Guinea to the Pacific islands of Fiji and Samoa.It grows to around 50 metres tall with a highly buttressed trunk. It inhabits mangrove forests. Intsia bijuga differ from Intsia palembanica in the number of leaflets that make up their compound leaves.
Cassia fikifiki is an uncommon small rainforest species of tree in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia. It is a deciduous tree with a showy pendulous inflorescences of bright yellow flowers, and is easily confused in foliage with the common savanna tree Cassia sieberiana.
Hymenostegia gracilipes is a small to medium riparian and rainforest tree in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Ghana, where it is threatened by habitat loss due to its growth in primary rainforests, although it is locally common.
Koompassia excelsa is an emergent tropical rainforest tree species in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. It is one of the tallest tropical tree species: the tallest measured specimen is 85.8 m or 88 m(281 or 289 ft) tall.
Koompassia malaccensis is a tropical rainforest tree species up to 60 m tall in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo and Thailand. It is threatened by habitat loss. A common name for this wood is kempas, it is used as a flooring material.
Aphanocalyx microphyllus subsp. compactus is a tropical rainforest tree in the family Fabaceae. This subspecies is endemic to the western Guinean lowland forests of Ivory Coast, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

Sterculia oblonga, the yellow sterculia, is a commercial timber tree in the family Malvaceae. It is native to the tropical rainforests of Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Montrouziera cauliflora, the giant Houp tree, is a species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae. It is found only in New Caledonia, and is one of the largest trees in the rainforests there. It is found in moist evergreen dense forest of low and medium altitude on all types of soil. The tree has a straight trunk, slightly conical, without buttresses but with a slightly wider base, up to 30 m high and 3 m in diameter, with branches protruding horizontally. Houp trees make fruit but it is not edible by humans. Damage causes the bark to exude a yellow resin, thick and sticky, with no peculiar smell. The bark is dark gray or reddish for individuals in very dense forest, with deep vertical cracks. Houp trees are sacred to New Caledonia's indigenous Kanak people, who traditionally used its wood extensively as a building material. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Archontophoenix myolensis, the Myola palm, is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is threatened by habitat loss. It occurs in the Myola area and the Black Mountain in the Kuranda range in the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland. The total population is seriously threatened by habitat clearance and is estimated to contain fewer than 100 mature trees and remains unprotected. Regeneration is good.
Alloxylon brachycarpum is a species of plant in the family Proteaceae. It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Eugenia tabouensis is a small tree in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to the tropical rainforests of Ivory Coast. It is threatened by habitat loss.
