Introduced plant species<br />

In the mixed moist forest the exotic species, apart from playing the role of beating up<br />

the gaps created by overharvested timber trees, they are usually useful timber trees in<br />

their countries of origin. These exotic species, with their countries of origin in<br />

brackets include Calopyllum inophyllum (Borneo mahogany), Cordia alliodora<br />

(Mexico), Casuarina equisetifolia best firewood in the world (Indomalasia, also<br />

pioneer seashore tree, Artocarpus altilis (Pacific Isl<strong>and</strong>s, cultivated tropical fruit tree<br />

less often for timber) Artocarpus heterophyllus (native of tropical ASIA excellent<br />

timber tree for furniture besides producing huge edible fruit), Cedrella odorata<br />

(Mexico, West Indies to North Argentina) highly regarded for joinery of all kinds<br />

(formerly most favoured for cigar boxes), Maesopsis eminii (Tropical Africa probably<br />

Ug<strong>and</strong>a) it is becoming a noxious weed; Tabebuia rosea (Mexico to venezuela),<br />

Terminalia arjuna (India).<br />

Other exotic species include Terminalia catappa (India, Barbados <strong>and</strong> Malay<br />

Pensinsular), Terminalia ivorensis (West Africa), Mangifera indica (Indomalaysia,<br />

also cultivated for fruit), Eucalyptus ssp. including Eucalyptus camaldulensis<br />

(Australia). Some of these exotic trees were intoduced to Ngezi forest incidentally by<br />

humans or monkeys <strong>and</strong> wild pigs especially fruit trees of Art acarpus spp. Mangifera<br />

indica, Cocos nucifera (naturalized in East Africa <strong>and</strong> Terminalia catappa. Some<br />

lowl<strong>and</strong> native forest species of Kha<strong>ya</strong> anthotheca <strong>and</strong> Ent<strong>and</strong>rophragma are useful<br />

enrichment plantation trees such as in Cameroun. These two species have been tried<br />

in Ngezi forest reserve. Tectona Gr<strong>and</strong>is is a native to Burma, India, <strong>and</strong> Indonesia to<br />

the Phillipines. It is a highly priced plantation tree in Tanzania popularly known as<br />

teak. It is widely used for quality timber.<br />
