Abstract: | A quite considerable number of plants are used by the Balese cultivators and the Efe hunter-gatherers who live in the midst of the tropical rain forest of Zaire. In total, the authors collected 533 uses for 281 plants during research carried out in 1985. The information on plant utilization is presented together with scientific names, botanical information, usage categories, the etymology of vernacular names, and comparative notes with the plant utilization observed among the Tetri net hunters of Zaire by T. TANNO (1981). Included is an index to scientific names, to vernacular names and to usages. Bibliogr., notes. |
