La flore utile du bassin de la Gambie

A botanical survey of the Gambia basin pairs geographic and geologic context with a practical inventory of indigenous plants valuable for food, commerce, and industry. It explains the river’s seasonal regime, tributary and marigot dynamics, and the fertility of riverine soils, then maps useful species across local regions. The text records edible and marketable taxa, notes culinary uses and local cultivation practices (including common and cherry tomato varieties), and offers observations on harvesting, processing, and the economic potential of native vegetation to inform agricultural and commercial exploitation.
