In smaller plan- tations, next to the larger ones with teak, trees such as Gmelina arborea, frake (Terminalia superba), samba wood {Triplochiton skleroxylori) and, especially in the Tof- fo sector, the fire-resistent Cassia siamea are cultivated (Specht 2002). The remaining collecting sites in southern Benin were: - Didja village, situated ca. 25 km NW of Bohicon and largely surrounded by an agriculturally formed land- scape. The area north of Didja is characterised by bush and tree savannas (Figure 3). - Dan Forest or Foret de Dan is situated ca. 15 km NE of Didja and is regularly visited by hunters from Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig.
