Abstract

A botanical survey aimed at compiling a checklist of the common plants from the site, and its surrounding, of the Kenya and Japan Social Forestry Training Project, Kitui, Kenya, was conducted in 1989 and 1990. The purpose of the checklist was to provide basic information for an ecological study of the area. A checklist of plants arranged alphabetically by scientific names and with their local Kamba names is presented. In addition, a separate list of local names arranged alphabetically is also included to facilitate cross-reference.
