No. 6 is chiefly interesting from a botanical aspect, and is probably incapable of reproduction. The sacred palm known in the Gold Coast as “Abe-ohene,” and identical with “Ope-Ifa” of Southern Nigeria, belongs to a new species called _E. Thompsonii_, Chev., but the fruits are not employed for the extraction of oil. =OTHER OIL SEEDS.=—Experiments were conducted at the Imperial Institute in 1908 with the kernels of the “Crabnut” (_Carapa procera_, D.C.). The kernels were found to contain nearly 50 per cent. of oil, which was reported to be worth about £20 10_s_. per ton, but the residual cake could not be used for feeding purposes, owing to the presence in it of a bitter constituent, and, on account of the rather low manurial value, was estimated as worth only £2 per ton (_Bulletin of the Imperial Institute_, vol. vi., 1908, p. 362). The oil seemed to be well suited for soap-making, but would not be suitable for lubricating or for edible purposes. The nut does not occur in such profusion as to warrant profitable exportation from localities where the oil palm is found. =TIMBER.= =Mahogany.=—The most valuable and commonly exported timber is that known in the European and American markets as “African Mahogany.” The value of that shipped from the Gold Coast in 1913 was estimated at £366,000. Several red woods are included under the name of Mahogany, but the best quality is said to be obtained from _Khaya senegalensis_, a large tree of the Natural Order _MELIACEÆ_. This tree is known by the native (Fanti) name of “Dubini.” In the same language the names “Okumankra” and “Akwabohori” are applied to two trees which are said to be exported as Mahogany, but of these the identity has not yet been determined. =Other Timber-trees.=—The “Odum” tree (_Chlorophora excelsa_) produces a hard and useful wood, which is much used in the forest region, but is not often shipped (Fig. 19). In the dry country of the Northern Territories _Pseudocedrela Kotschyi_ may be found of value as a red wood for decorative purposes. Among the other trees which show evidence of yielding hard and useful woods are “Ahedua” (_Cyanothyrsus sp._), “Opapeh” (_Afzelia africana_), and “Bako” (_Mimusops sp._). Information about the working-quality and suitability for export of these and other Gold Coast timbers is given in the _Bulletin of the Imperial Institute_, vol. viii., 1910. p. 232.
