Some of the trees common to the rain forests and the monsoon 

 ones reach their optimum development both in growth and num- 

 bers in the latter formation. This is most marked in the case of 

 the following species : - 



The Waw-waw (Triplochiton Johnsonii). 

 The Dahomah (Piptadenia africana). 

 The Off ram (Terminalia superba). 

 The Emril (Terminalia species). 

 The Awama (Ricinodendron africanus). 

 The silk rubber tree (Funtumia elastica). 

 The Duakobin (Afrormosia laxiflord). 



They are not only more abundant in this type, but they actually 

 become somewhere or other within it the dominant species.
