Abstract
Having defined the Zambezian woodland, the edible wild vegetable products occurring in this area are reviewed. As well as 21 cultivated plants, 241 wild species have been listed, of which 184 were sampled and their nutritional value established. These results are discussed. Where available, the collecting period, the type of vegetation in which the species occurs, the Kibemba dialect name and the voucher number of the reference specimen are also given.Keywords
