Other wooded land

Shrubs

All the above-mentioned woodlands are under the influence of various climatic, edaphic and biotic factors. When these factors permit their optimum development, the woodlands are approaching the dense dry deciduous forest but under severe adverse conditions they only appear as open shrub formations or thickets. The so-called "itigi" shrub vegetation type occurs also with Bussea, Baphia, Euphorbia and Burttia as the main genera.
