Ebony Diospyros crassifloraTaylor's own pages (S295, S296) state that Crelicam's ebony comes from Cameroon forests under government-set quotas, found and cut by Crelicam's suppliers. A 2017 UCLA report for Taylor (S294) says Crelicam held no FSC certification then and that its ebony quota fell from 1,200 tons (2016) to 1,050 tons (2017). Species is the existing SP023 (Diospyros crassiflora); the sources checked here do not state the species. Undated: observations are 2012 (S295) and 2017 (S294). Concession names are not found. Proposed grade: secondary (company statements are primary but self-reported).	log	Cameroon	Not on record	—	undated	unverified^{[2, 3, 4, 5, 6]}
