7.3f Notes on East African Species Considered Endangered or Vulnerable ¹

1. Cordia milleni (Boraginaceae)

A forest tree with spreading crown. Timber is popular for furniture and cabinet making. It occurs in Uganda, Burundi, Congo and Western Kenya. In Uganda and Kenya it is the target of heavy felling. Its natural regeneration is poor.

2. Caesalpinia dalei (Caesalpiniaceae)

A spreading buttressed tree. This species has only been recorded in Kwale district Kenya, from an area now intensively cultivated. Feared extinct.

3. Gigasiphon macrosiphon (Caesalpiniaceae)

A tree 6–20 m high with large beautiful flowers with potential for ornamental planting. Occurs in very few localities, on Mrima Hill, Southern Coast, Kenya, and in Southern province in Tanzania.

4. Stuhlmannia moavi (Caesalpiniceae)

A tree of moderate size - 9 m. So far recorded from Pangani district in Tanzania (Muwanja, Mkororro and Wachanga).

5. Brachylaena hutchinsii (Muhugu) (Compositae)

A tall dioecious tree, resistant to termites and borers which in the past was used for sleepers, flooring blocks, but is now used extensively for wood carvings. The species occurs in localized areas in East Africa. In Kenya it occurs in the highlands and in the coastal belt; in Tanzania - Usambara steppe, and in the coast lowlands; while it is rare in Uganda, occurring in South Busoga. In Kenya much of the B. hutchinsii habitat has gone to settlement while the remaining trees are now facing increasingly heavy felling. Logs are highly priced for wood carvings.

6. Lovoa swynnertonii (Kilimanjaro mahogany) (Meliaceae)

A forest tree with first class quality timber. In Kenya occurring in Meru forest, East of Mt. Kenya, and in the forest on Mrima hill at the coast. In Uganda it occurs in Mengo, Ankole and Toro; while in Tanzania it occurs in Rau Forest Reserve (Kilimanjaro) and Kaigi (Bukoba). It is sparsely distributed within its range with uncertain natural regeneration potential.

7. Chlorophora excelsa (Mvule) (Moraceae)

A large deciduous tree occurring in forests and savannas, it enjoys great importance in the timber trade. In the region, mvule occurs around Lake Victoria and in hills of coastal district. (Also occurs elsewhere in tropical Africa). Today mvule has been exterminated in most of the coastal forests in Kenya. The number of trees in western Kenya has been considerably reduced. Here the trees are outside the forest reserve. Cutting has been uncontrolled and exploitation is very heavy. The situation has worsened following expansion in intensive agriculture and land consolidation. Natural regeneration is poor and artificial regeneration handicapped by gall fly damage. The same fate is facing the mvule stands in Busoga district of Uganda.

8. Tecleopsis glandulosa - Vepris glandulosa (Rutaceae)

A medium sized forest tree originally reported from central Kenya, growing in association with cape chestnut and Olea hochsterii. It was feared in the sixties that this species had completely disappeared from Kiambu forest but repeated searches in the seventies revealed that there were still less than forty individuals in the Muguga forest reserve.

Regeneration of T. glandulosa is poor and prospects for its artificial regeneration are uncertain. This is the only record of T. glandulosa in East Africa. The species also occurs in Ethiopia, C. Africa, Mozambique and South Africa.

9. Entandrophragma angolense (Budongo Mahogany) (Meliaceae)

A very large deciduous tree with first class timber, considered to be the best cabinet wood of the East African Meliaceae. E. angolense also occur in Angola. The timber is exported widely. Experience in East Africa shows that this species is the target of heavy exploitation. It regeneration is poor.

10. Populus ilicifolia (Salicaceae)

Tall deciduous riparian tree in Kenya restricted to Tana, Athi and Uaso Nyiro river basins. In Tanzania it occurs in Ruvu river systems.

It is feared that the development of storage dams along the Tana and Athi river basins and the irrigation network radiating from Uaso nyiro may alter dry weather flow over substantial lengths of the water course and hence affect the P. ilicifolia forests. Unless the forests are given legal protection, the entire vegetation is bound to be progressively cleared by the new settlers.
