Cordia platythyrsa or West African cordia is a tall, flowering tree in the borage family (Boraginaceae), native to western and central Africa. Its soft wood is often used for furniture or other carpentry. It is considered "vulnerable" as it is threatened by logging.
Common names include ebe or mukumari (Cameroon, Gabon), omo (Nigeria), and tweneboa (Ghana).
