and Uganda, in the absence <strong>of</strong> large-diameter canes, rattan furniture frames are made<br />

<strong>of</strong> two or three stems <strong>of</strong> C. deërratus joined together (Tenati, in press). When the<br />

canes are split and woven, they have a multiplicity <strong>of</strong> purposes such as the fabrication<br />

<strong>of</strong> “tie-ties” for the staking <strong>of</strong> yams (Morakinyo, 1995), they are woven and used for<br />

fencing in Ghana (Abbiw, 1990) and as binding materials for hut-making and to tie<br />

thatch, (Berhaut, 1988; Dalziel, 1937). In addition, both whole and split stems are also<br />

used to make hammock suspension bridges (Dalziel, 1937; Abbiw, 1990) as well as<br />

making a foot-loop for climbing palm trees (Dalziel, 1937). More everyday uses<br />

include the fabrication <strong>of</strong> fish traps and weirs, kola baskets, bow strings household<br />

matting and screens and the seat <strong>of</strong> chairs (Dalziel, 1937; Irvine, 1961; Abbiw, 1990).<br />

In Nigeria, the split stems were formerly used to tie timber tree together prior to them<br />

being floated down river for sale (Sylvic Sap, 1935) and in the continental region <strong>of</strong><br />

Equatorial Guinea they were formerly used in the fabrication <strong>of</strong> temporary market<br />

baskets (Guinea-Lopez, 1946), although this is not the case today (<strong>Sunderland</strong>, 1998).<br />
