Mlinga Forest Reserve 20 Figure 4 Sketch map of vegetation types in Mlinga FR. East Usambara Conservation Area Management Programme Technical Paper 56
Mlinga Forest Reserve 21 4.3.1.2 Species Abundance The most abundant species within vegetation plots was Stereospermum kunthianum representing 10.6% of all individuals sampled. This species was only present within five vegetation plots where it dominated other species (Table 5). Stereospermum kunthianum was common at low altitudes in open woodland and lowland forest margins, usually associated with rocky outcrops. Tabernamontana ventricosa was ranked as the second most abundant species within vegetation plots (Table 5). This species was found in six vegetation plots, in lowland forest plots and one disturbed submontane forest plot. All of the most abundant species are widespread in their distribution and common in woodland and/or forest habitats. Table 5 Ranked abundance of tree and shrub individuals within vegetation plots.

Sponia orientalis was commonly found regenerating in areas that had been disturbed by fire. Antiaris toxicaria were mostly recorded in lowland and submontane forest plots that had not recently been affected disturbance. Annona senegalensis was commonly found in vegetation plots throughout the reserve and was ranked third in Table 6. This species was common in open woodland areas and often associated with fire damage. One Maesopsis eminii individual was recorded within Mlinga FR in vegetation plot 12.
