Alafia multiflora is native to an area of Africa from Liberia east to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and north to Egypt. Its habitat is riverine forest, from sea level to 750 metres (2,500 ft) altitude.
Local medicinal uses of Alafia multiflora include as a treatment for wounds, ulcers and abdominal pains. The plant has been used as arrow poison.
