Distribution<br />

This species occurs predominantly in the lowland forests <strong>of</strong> the northern Congo Basin.<br />

However, intriguingly, there are outliers <strong>of</strong> this species found in the forests <strong>of</strong> Upper<br />

Guinea, with a pronounced disjunction from Côte d’Ivoire to Benin.<br />

Figure 6. Distribution <strong>of</strong> E. laurentii De Wild.<br />

Habitat and ecology<br />

E. laurentii is found in both open areas as well as in closed-canopy forest. However,<br />

this species responds particularly well to selective logging and is a common<br />

component <strong>of</strong> regrowth vegetation where it occurs.<br />
