Additional plant species that were observed around the Study Area during the
wet season include Thonningia sanguinea (ground pineapple), Bambusa vulgaris
(common bamboo), and Discoreaceae family (a key species being yams) and are
illustrated in Figure 4.19. It was evident that the vegetation observed during the
wet season was of higher density, and illustrated a healthy floral system. There
was, however, evidence of anthropogenic interference mainly the felling of trees
for firewood. The floral species identified were not noted to be of specific
endemicity as they are also found across the region.
