Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Wildlife Department Some Families of Ethiopian Plants and their Species by Wolde Michael Kelecha Addis Ababa, Ethiopia May, 1979. 6s/ W > o \ /? / C 1? f $ Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia, Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Wildlife Department Some Families of Ethiopian Plants and their Species by Wolde Michael Kelecha Addis Ababa, Ethiopia May, 1979. Introduction. This issue of botanical names of Ethiopian Plants is a compilation, mainly from my " Glossary of Ethiopian Plant Names", 1977, There are considerable difficulties in identifiying naturally appearing species of plants in Ethiopi and this publication of botanical names will help to give information to which family, a genus or species belongs. The family name is the most important division of a plant kingdom,. And once the family of a species is known, it may be easy to refer to botanical literature for further information and identification,. Some exotic species found growing in Ethiopia are also included in the list under their corresponding families,, This publication consists of 183 families and about 1840 species with updated botanical namus. In some cases the species and families are followed by synonym(s)c In the indices of botanical names given at the end of the publication the alternative names or synonyms are marked with an asterisk(•)» Although great care has been taken in the preparation of the list of species, the possibility of finding some typing errors cannot be excluded. Therefore, I will be grateful for any error brought to my attention* Addis Ababa, Hay, 19 79. V7olde Michael Kelecha. 1 FAMILIES OF ETHIOPIAN PLANTS AND THEIR SPECIES. ACANTHa CEAE Acanthus arboreus.
