L. laeve (G. Mann & H. Wendl.) H. Wendl. Vernacular names CÔTE D’IVOIRE: ailé-mla (Anyin): GHANA: nguni (Wasa); tenan muhunu = “it lives in the world for nothing” (Twi): NIGERIA: itunibia (Ekit): CAMEROON: genomé-echié = “slave to cane rope” (Denya): CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: gao (Banda-Yangeri): EQUATORIAL GUINEA: ndele (Fang): GABON: munyengi (Sira); tèkè (Tsogo) Uses The poor cane quality due to the extensive branching habit makes this species of little use. However, in Gabon, L. laeve is sometimes used to make a rope (Raponda-Walker and Sillans. 1961). In the Central African Republic, the BaBinga roast the roots of this species on axes, which are then eaten to improve virility (Carroll, herb. K!).

Drude Vernacular names GHANA: eholobaka (Nzema); sayai (Akan-Asanti); edem (Kwawu): NIGERIA: abu (Edo); �kw� �ya = cane for tie-tie (Igbo): CAMEROON: liko ko’ko = “close to cane” (Mokpwe); ge- nomé-echié = “slave to cane rope” (Denya); aka’lo (Badjué): EQUATORIAL GUINEA: npue-nkan (Fang): GABON: ibulu (Myene); di-bulu (Sira); di-bulu (Lumbu); abulo (Kele); éboa (Tsogo) ulóngó-mwa-iki (Benga): CONGO: kimbana ki mukaana (Téké) Uses The tendency for this species to produce aerial branches affects the cane quality significantly, and L. opacum is not an important source of cane. However, in Ghana, 330
the stem is sometimes split and is used as a binding and for making the Akan-Asanti baskets, kenten. In Gabon, forest workers drink the potable sap of this species, particularly during the long dry season when many small streams have dried up (Raponda-Walker and Sillans, 1961). In the Congo, the Téké eat the apical bud of this species; these are prepared by roasting the whole stems over, or next to, a fire (Profizi and Makita-Madzou, 1996).

J. Dransf. Vernacular names NIGERIA: willow, hard cane (Pidgin); CAMEROON: makak, maraca (Trade); eka (Ewondo); nkan, aka = cleaned cane (Bulu); dikah (indef.) mekah (def.) (Bakundu- Balue); lo-ntong (Korop); gekwiya (Denya): CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: gao (Banda-Yangere): EQUATORIAL GUINEA: nkan, aka = cleaned cane (Fang): GABON: asperge (nom forestier) DR CONGO: ekpale-ekpale (Bwa): li-sele (Lombo); nkao (Ngbaka-Ma’bo); ikoonga (Lombo) Uses This species is widely used throughout its range for its high quality cane which, in the main, is used whole. Previously assigned under the name, L. secundiflorum, the clear morphological and ecological differences between the species are marked and as a result most local people distinguish between these two species in their folk classifications. The cane of this species is used mainly for furniture and house frames and forms the basis of a thriving cottage industry and is widely traded (Morakinyo, 1994; Defo, 1997; Defo and Sunderland, 1999; Sunderland 1998; 1999a; 1999b). 331
