Staner

Dialium corbisieri is a species of flowering plant, a medium to large tree in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Dialioideae.

The trees grow in flooded forest or on dry ground, on swamp- and stream sides, reaching 35 m in height with a bole up to 100 cm in diameter.[2] which occurs in Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa, Gabon,[3] Cabinda and Northern Angola.[4]

## Uses[edit]

### Wood[edit]

Its heavy, pinkish-brown wood, with a density of about 1020 kg/m³ at 12% moisture content, is very hard and can be used for the same purposes as Dialium aubrevillei.[3] The wood is locally used as firewood and for charcoal production,[4] but it can also been used for construction.[5]

### Fruit[edit]

The fruits are used in traditional medicine.[6]
