Distribution<br />

E. macrocarpa is a very widespread and common species and is distributed from<br />

Sènègal in West Africa through to the lowland forests <strong>of</strong> the Congo Basin.<br />

Figure 12. Distribution <strong>of</strong> E. macrocarpa (G. Mann & H. Wendl.) H. Wendl.<br />

Habitat and ecology<br />

This species is extremely light demanding, occurring naturally in gap vegetation and<br />

forest margins. As a result <strong>of</strong> this, in common with other members <strong>of</strong> the genus, E.<br />

macrocarpa responds extremely well to selective logging activities and is a common<br />

component <strong>of</strong> regrowth vegetation. This species occurs more commonly in terra firma<br />

forest, and is rarely encountered in swamp forest.<br />
