1.6.10. Millettia stuhlmannii<br />
Millettia stuhlmannii belongs to family Fabaceae and it’s found throughout the Congo<br />
and southern regions of Africa, Tanzania and Mozambique. This species is reported to<br />
be rather secure with very little threat to its existence within most of its growth range<br />
including the Congo, but it is officially classified as extinct, endangered or rare in<br />
Cameroon. The tree grows to heights of 60 to 90 feet with a trunk diameter of 3 to 4<br />
feet.The bark from the tree is used for its toxins to stun fish for harvest. It is also used in<br />
parts of Africa for mask carving. The plant is often used for treatment of toothache and<br />
spleen disorders (Jain, 1991).<br />
