“…As medicine, in rural communities, where villagers have hardly access to health centres, the use of bark and seeds to treat diarrhoea, abdominal pains, flatulence, constipation, gastralgia, gastritis or stomach ulcers (digestive system) was also reported throughout the Centre and South regions of Cameroon (Nyemba et al, 1990;Kuete et al, 2011), at Douala in the Littoral region (Dibong et al, 2013;Ngene et al 2015) and at Bangangte in the West region (Noumi & Dibakto, 2000). The bark and seeds enjoy a folk reputation as antidote to poisoning and snake bites (Specific diseases and conditionsmiscellaneous), and as aphrodisiac or stimulant (Effects on reproductive system, in relation with glandular systems) not only in the Bipindi-Akom II region, but also in Douala (Dibong et al, 2013;Ngene et al, 2015), Yaoundé, Kribi (Adjanohoun et al, 1996), and throughout Cameroon, especially in the South and Central regions (Kamanyi et al, 1990;Nyemba et al 1990;Vivien & Faure, 1996;Ndoye et al 1999;Sunderland et al, 1999;Kuete et al, 2011). The use of leaves against evil spirits or to chase away ghosts (Directions for medico-magic use) and as insect repellent (Physiological effects on parasite or pathogenic organisms), mentioned by elderly key-informants of the Bipindi-Akom II region, suggests that this type of ethnobotanical use was applied in the past.…”
