    Hello,

    Hopefully there are some Central West Africa flora people out there. See photos attached of a Sterculiaceae species I photographed in Gabon. Looks like a Cola spp.. It was difficult to get a photo of the leaves as the tree was very tall. I did, however, take a photo up into the canopy from the base of the tree, also attached, which doesn't offer an ideal leaf image, but possibly helpful... any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    If no one can ID this here, any references to good Sterculiaceae resources where I might follow up?

    May need a specialist flora, like this one. We won't have anything like this in our library at UBC, unfortunately.
