Common Names or Aliases: Okan, Denya, disc bean
Family: Mimosa
Geographic Origin: Primarily found in the tropical regions of West Africa, with significant concentrations in Nigeria and Ghana.
Identification Features: The heartwood and sapwood contrast sharply in color. The heartwood exhibits a golden-brown hue tinged with green, which gradually shifts to reddish-brown over time. Distinctive dark streaks run through it, while the sapwood remains light pink. This wood contains loose-porous material. Its axial thin-walled tissue forms short wings that gather into a wing-like structure. The perforation plates are single, and inter-tubular perforations are present. The wood rays are non-stacked, and the multi-row rays measure between 2 to 4 cells wide. The ray tissue resembles multiple columns arranged symmetrically.

I recently came across some fascinating information about Gabonos discus (Cylicodiscus gabunensis), commonly known as the "disc bean." This tree species belongs to the Mimosa family and thrives primarily in the tropical climates of West Africa, especially in countries like Nigeria and Ghana. What struck me most was how distinctively its heartwood and sapwood appear—its heartwood starts off golden-brown with a slight green tint before transitioning to reddish-brown over time. These unique features make it stand out not only aesthetically but also functionally.
Its dense nature—ranging from 0.96 to 1.00 g/cm³ when air-dried—makes it perfect for heavy construction projects like building bridges or constructing robust floors. Additionally, its durability ensures it can be used for furniture and even shipbuilding. The images here show both finished flooring pieces and raw blanks waiting to be crafted into beautiful surfaces.
What caught my eye was the striking grain pattern, characterized by dark streaks and the way its rays align in columnar formations. It’s truly remarkable how nature combines form and function so elegantly in this species. If you’re looking for a durable yet elegant material for your next project, Gabonos discus might just be worth considering!
