In Misalai village forest, most of the saplings recorded were Sorindeia madagascariensis. In Shambangeda, Rinorea angustifolia dominated. In Kwatango, Cynometra sp. and Diospyros mespiliformis were the most common ones. 2.4 Discussion 2.4.1 Valuable plant species for conservation One East Usambara endemic (Cynometra engleri) and three Eastern Arc endemic, and seven near endemic plant species were recorded. The Eastern Arc endemics included Alsodeiopsis schumannii, Aoranthe penduliflora and Drypetes gerrardinoides.The Eastern Arc near-endemics included Allanblackia stuhlmannii, Carvalhoa campanulata, Cephalosphaera usambarensis, Dasylepis integra, Dialium holtzii, Mesogyne insignis and Pouteria alnifolia.
