野生食用植物是生活在肯尼亚干旱地区的人们的重要资源。根据基图县野外调查标本、东非植物标本馆和有关基图县植物的文献报道,编制了基图伊县维管束植物名录。为了获得基图伊县野生食用植物的名录,检索了关于肯尼亚野生食用植物的文献报道,并结合基图伊县实地调查获得的利用报告。在基图县发现的199种野生植物具有以不同方式作为食物的潜力。乔木或灌木植物(83种)和草本(36种)是主要的生活型,而最具代表性的植物科是豆科(25种)和锦葵科(17种)。果实(124例)和树叶(56例)是采集食用的常见植物部位。水果(120种)和蔬菜(44种)是基图县常见的野生食物类型。有必要对物种分布进行进一步研究,以解决可能威胁到此类植物的保护问题。
Wild food plants are important resources for people living in dry areas of Kenya. A botanical inventory of vascular plants of Kitui county was compiled from specimens collected during field investigations in Kitui county, at the East African (EA) herbarium and from literature reporting on plants of Kitui county. To obtain an inventory of wild edible plants found in Kitui county, literature reporting on wild edible plants of Kenya were searched and combined with the use reports obtained from field surveys in Kitui county. A total of 199 wild plants found in Kitui county have the potential of being utilized as foods in different ways. Plant species growing either as trees or shrubs (83 species) and herbs (36 species) are the dominant life forms while the best represented plant families are Leguminosae (25 species) and Malvaceae (17 species). Fruits (124 reports) and leaves (56 reports) are the common plant parts collected for food. Fruits (120 species) and vegetables (44 species) are the common wild food types in Kitui county. Further studies on species distribution are necessary to address conservation concerns that may threaten such plants.
