 species. These plants are found almost everywhere in more or less 

 abundance, especially between Shagbo and Uaro. The rubber is not 

 collected, though then ; s no d. mbf . it' properl) sought tor, sufficient plants 

 would be found to bring in a good supply. 



Timber trees. One of the largest trees met with in the forests is 

 the Ii-oko tree (Chorophora excelsa). This wood is much used for 

 building on account ol its durability. Aihuisonin diyitatu is frequently 

 seen. Ficus guineensis and other species are found in large quantities 



of the forest trees.
