Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607)
Complete Index of Common Names: Supplement to Tropical Timbers of the World (AH 607) by Nancy Ross Preface Since it was published in 1984, Tropical Timbers of the World has proven to be an extremely valuable reference to the properties and uses of tropical woods. It has been particularly valuable for the selection of species for specific products and as a reference for properties information that is important to effective pro- cessing and utilization of several hundred of the most commercially important tropical wood timbers. If a user of the book has only a common or trade name for a species and wishes to know its properties, the user must use the index of common names beginning on page 451. However, most tropical timbers have numerous common or trade names, depending upon the major region or local area of growth; furthermore, different species may be know by the same common name. Herein lies a minor weakness in Tropical Timbers of the World. The index generally contains only the one or two most frequently used common or trade names. If the common name known to the user is not one of those listed in the index, finding the species in the text is impossible other than by searching the book page by page. This process is too laborious to be practical because some species have 20 or more common names. This supplement provides a complete index of common or trade names. This index will prevent a user from erroneously concluding that the book does not contain a specific species because the common name known to the user does not happen to be in the existing index.

K. 1Department of Biochemistry, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. 2Department of Biochemistry, Evangel University, Akaeze, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. 3Department of Biochemistry, Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria. ABSTRACT The effects of ethanol leaf-extract of Albizia ferruginea on haematological indices were investigated in albino rats using standard methods. Twenty four albino rats were randomly placed into four experimental groups (A, B, C and D) after seven days of acclimatization with six rats in each group. Animals in groups A, B, C and D were administered the ethanol leaf-extract of Albizia ferruginea at the doses of 0, 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg body weight respectively twice daily for fourteen days through oral intubation. The results showed that haemoglobin (Hb) level, Packed Cell Volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC) count and white blood cell (WBC) count increased significantly (p<0.05) and dose-dependently. The results suggest that the ethanol leaf-extract of Albizia ferruginea could be effective in the management of anaemia. Key words: Albizia ferruginea, leaf-extract, haematological indices, albino rats. INTRODUCTION Plants of various origins have been Albizia ferruginea is a perennial tree exploited effectively over many with about 45m high and 3m girth. The generations for therapeutic purposes [1] leaves are bipinnate with pinnae and have long been the principal tools exceeding sometimes seven pairs.

A compiled check list of these plants including their Latin names, families, parts used, medicinal uses, and name in different Nigerian states is the main purpose of this study. All available information about either the traditional medicinal plants or ethnobotanical surveys in Nigeria was consulted. The study showed that 325 species and 95 families of medicinal plants were recognized as being used by most of the people in Nigeria for the treatment of various common diseases. Fabaceae has the largest number of species (42), followed by Asteraceae (22), Euphorbiaceae (20), Acanthaceae (13) and Apocynaceae (12). The largest genera were Euphorbia (6 species), Cola and Hibiscus (5 species for each), Albizia, Acacia, Combretum and Ficus (4 species for each), Acalypha, Allium, Clerodendrum and Cleome (3 species for each). The study revealed that traditional medicinal practices have a wide acceptability among the Nigerian people, probably because they believe in its effectiveness. The medicinal uses are varied, and the plant parts that are used ranged from leaves, roots, stem, bark to fruits only, or a combination of two or more in a species or with those of other species.

This has led to many of the tropical forests viable alternative in many of WWF’s priority places. being plundered for these highly prized species. Even in forests where there are good levels of forest management, there is a risk of a shift in species composition Markets are hard to change, as buyers from consumer countries often aren’t in natural forest stands. This over-exploitation can also dissuade many forest willing to switch from purchasing the traditional species which they know do managers from obtaining Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for the job for the products that they are used in, and for which there is already their concessions, as many of these high value species are rarely available in a healthy market.

The experiment was laid out in a completely randomised design replicated three times. Fusarium oxysporum was implicated as the causal agent of the disease. Terminalia ivorensis was not susceptible to Fusarium damping-off in the study. A significant effect (P<0.05) was observed in top soil which recorded the highest disease incidence in Nauclea diderrichii.

Dimensional Stability of Nine Tropical Hardwoods from Cameroon
Journal of Tropical Forest Science 22(4): 389–396 (2010) Shukla SR & Kamdem DP DIMENSIONAL STABILITY OF NINE TROPICAL HARDWOODS FROM CAMEROON SR Shukla* & DP Kamdem** Laboratory of Wood Science and Technology, Department of Forestry, 126 Natural Resources Building, Michigan State University, East Lansing MI 48824, USA Received September 2009 SHUKLA SR & KAMDEM DP. 2010. Dimensional stability of nine tropical hardwoods from Cameroon. This study investigated the rate of swelling and dimensional stability of nine tropical hardwood species from Cameroon, namely, ayous (Triplochiton scleroxylon), bilinga (Nauclea diderrichii), bubinga (Guibourtia tessmannii), iroko (Chlorophora excelsa), makore (Mimusops heckelii), moabi (Baillonella toxisperma), movingui (Distemonanthus benthamianus), teak (Tectona grandis) and zingana (Microberlinia brazzavillensis). Continuous swelling of wood specimens immersed in water at room temperature for up to a maximum of 48 hours were monitored using linear voltage displacement transducers (LVDTs). The amount of water uptake as function of immersion duration was measured and correlated with wood porosity. Among the species used in this study, teak showed the lowest swelling rate, therefore, the more dimensionally stable property. Ayous, iroko and movingui were relatively more dimensionally stable than bubinga, makore and moabi. The swelling rate in the tangential direction was much higher than the radial. Bubinga, bilinga and zingana exhibited higher radial swelling rates compared with iroko, teak and makore. Similarly, higher tangential swelling rates were obtained for bubinga and movingui in comparison with teak, makore and moabi. The calculated ratios of the tangential to radial swelling rates also known as the anisotropy of the species used in this study were within the normal range and in agreement with published data.
