Afrocarpus dawei
Afrocarpus dawei is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is native to Africa, where it occurs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Uganda.[1] This species is a tree that grows in swampy forest habitat that is flooded in the rainy season. It is associated with Baikiaea insignis and Mimusops species.[1] A. dawei is found in the Minziro Forest of Tanzania and the adjacent Sango Bay forests of Uganda, located west of Lake Victoria. The Kagera River sustains swamp forests and a high groundwater table that supports evergreen lowland forests.[3] This tree is valuable as timber because it grows a long trunk without many branches. It is likely overharvested, one reason that it is considered to be a near-threatened species.[1] References
