Terminalia superba, the superb terminalia,[3]limba, or afara (UK), korina (US), frake (Africa),[4]African limba wood, ofram (Ghana), is a large tree in the family Combretaceae, native to tropical western Africa.
It grows up to 60 m tall, with a domed or flat crown, and a trunk typically clear of branches for much of its height, buttressed at the base. The leaves are 10 cm long and 5 cm broad, and are deciduous in the dry season (November to February). The flowers are produced at the end of the dry season just before the new leaves; they are small and whitish, growing in loose spikes 10–12 cm long. The fruit is a samara with two wings.
