leiocarpus

The gallery forests are dominated by Cynometra vogelii; the patches of dense dry forest by Isoberlinia doka, Anogeissus leiocarpus, Cola cordifolia, Antiaris africana, which is nationally threatened, Chlorophora excelsa (VU), and the edible akee Blighia unijugata.

Comoé National Park, Côte d'Ivoire 2009

Many of these species are also present in the gallery forests, which occupy much of the remaining 30% of the area, and which also support Anogeissus leiocarpus, Borassus aethiopum, Mitragyna inermis, Vitex chrysoclada, and hold Cola laurifolia and Kigelia aethiopum.

'W' National Park, Niger 2009

In the eastern block woody vegetation is dominated by Combretum and Terminalia species, as well as Anogeissus leiocarpus, Boswellia papyrifera, Lannea schimperi and Stereospermum kunthianum.

East Sudanian savanna 2009

In less wet soils mixed open wooded savanna with a sparse shrub layer carries the same species plus Terminalia laxiflora, Combretum glutinosum and Anogeissus leiocarpus around seasonal streams and isolated low points.

Manovo-Gounda-St Floris National Park, Central African Republic 2009

This forest is under threat: Anogeissus leiocarpus is not fire resistant, which, with low rainfall, may be contributing to its decline.

Manovo-Gounda-St Floris National Park, Central African Republic 2009

Typical trees in the western block of the ecoregion include Anogeissus leiocarpus, Kigelia aethiopica, Acacia seyal and species of Combretum and Terminalia.

East Sudanian savanna 2009

A dense dry forest of Anogeissus leiocarpus and Khaya senegalensis grows along the edges of the plains, particularly along the Gounda and Koumbala Rivers, and in small islands within the plains.

Manovo-Gounda-St Floris National Park, Central African Republic 2009

Dry forest is made up of Sudanian species, such as Piliostigma thonningii, Pterocarpus erinaceus, Pericopsis africana, Bombax costatum, Burkea africana, Prosopis africana, Sterculia setigera, Ficus ingens and Anogeissus leiocarpus.

Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal 2008

The relative openness of the canopy at the forest edge allows invasion by savanna species such as Afzelia africana and Anogneissus leiocarpus, and by oil palms (Elaeis guineensis).

Where human population remains sparse in central Cameroon and the Central African Republic, patches of dense dry forest remain, dominated by Isoberlinia doka with Afzelia africana, Burkea africana, Anogneissus leiocarpus, Terminalia spp. and Borassus aethiopum.
