With over 8,000 species, 67 of which are endangered, Cameroon plants are rich and diverse, ranging from trees such as palms, ebony, African baobab, and rubber to crops such as cotton and coffee, to beautiful flowering plants such as bougainvillea, ornamental sago palm and lilies.
Vegetation in Cameroon
There are a few main areas of vegetation in Cameroon, all of which offer diverse plant life and ecosystems.
The south is made up of dense rain forests covered by orchid, fern and hardwood evergreen trees including mahogany, ebony, obeche, dibetu, and sapelli which can grow to over 200 feet. This merges into the central area which has semi-deciduous forests.
Along the coastal areas and rivers there are dense mangroves and palm rich areas. Northern areas are then comprised of wooded savanna with scattered trees, moving to sparser areas covered with Acacia.
Mountain areas include rich tropical rainforest, then descending to dry woodland with mountain bamboo and towards to top of Mount Cameroon the only vegetation is short grasses.
