Species List: Sorted by Latin names
The NAFORMA methodology including the manuals, questionnaires, field forms and species lists, was developed during the inception phase of NAFORMA 2009-2010.
The methodology is the product of the joint efforts of the three parties of NAFORMA:
• Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism of Tanzania,• Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations,• Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The authors, Prof. F.B.S. Makonda and Mr. C.K. Ruffo would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through the National Forestry Resources Monitoring and Assessment (NAFORMA) for giving them the opportunity to conduct this noble endeavour.
They are very grateful for the support on this assignment, rendered to them by Messrs E. Nashanda and A. Mndola.
Thanks are also due for Ms. R. Mwaimu for working overtime typing this manuscript.
A number of people have contributed in one way or another in making this work accomplished, however it is not easy to mention all names of these people. A vote of thanks is hereby therefore, collectively cast.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background information of the work
As of 2010, the state and trends of the forest resources of Tanzania are largely unknown and the existing information is fragmented and outdated. Under the National Forest Programme (NFP) of Tanzania, NAFORMA was launched in May 2009 is a priority activity for the Forest and Beekeeping Division (FBD) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism. NAFORMA will for the first time set up a system to assess and monitor the national forest resources. NAFORMA will provide valuable information for the development of national policy processes related to the sustainable management of the woody resources of Tanzania. The demand of the stakeholders in Tanzania for data and information on the state of the forest resources is continuously expanding.
Through its system of permanent sample sites NAFORMA will provide a complete and sound baseline information on the forest and tree resources, composed of biophysical and socio-economic information.
NAFORMA will prepare new maps of the woody resources of Tanzania and a database for easy retrieval of the needed information.
During NAFORMA, the capacity of the FBD to undertake National Forest Assessment will be built and NAFORMA will be institutionalized to secure the future re-measurements needed for the long term monitoring of the forestry ecosystems in the country.
Over time NAFORMA will thus provide information on the rate of land cover changes as well as the degree of degradation of the forest resources.
1.2 Objectives of the work
The main objective of the study was to prepare a national-wide tree species checklist for NAFORMA for use in coding and grouping of tree species in NAFORMA data entry and analysis phases. The species considered in the list cover both indigenous and exotic, including main common species of cactuses, succulents and bamboos that reach heights above 1.3 meters.
The following details of tree species were specified for the report:
- Species code - Species botanical name - Family - Local name - Possible notes

2.0 METHODOLOGY
In order to achieve the above stated objectives, gathering of previous forest inventory reports for Tanzania was done. Since most of the inventories were conducted a long time ago, intensive desk studies were carried out analyzing the information and enriching it with those from other such sources as books and internet.
3.0 DEFINITION OF TERMS
In this report, each species has been presented with its code number (index), scientific name, vernacular name and the dialect used (where possible), family name, habitat and other possible notes.
The habitat types are based on Hamilton (1989):
Lowland: Species occurring at altitudes of less than 800 m.a.s.l.;Submontane: Species occurring at altitudes of between 800 and 1,800 m.a.s.l.;Montane: Species occurring at altitudes over 1,800 m.a.s.l.
In addition to this, the habitat for the mangrove species has been indicated as “Mangrove”.
For the other possible notes concerning a species, the economic importance has been used mostly. Woodfuel has been used to mean firewood (fuelwood) and charcoal. Firewood and fuelwood have been used interchangeably.
The endemic status of some of the species has been indicated based on Iversen (1991):
Near endemic: Species with limited ranges in Tanzania, particularly the Eastern Arc Mountains and/or the East African lowland forests;
Near endemic to the Usambaras: Species with limited ranges in the East and West Usambara Mountains.

4.0 RESULTS, LIMITATIONS AND EMERGING DEVELOPMENT NEEDS.
The appended table below is a checklist of the trees of Tanzania with 1,773 species. The format and programme used in depicting the results allow grouping the species according either to ecological, economical or spatial criteria of species.
This work was allocated one month only the period which is inadequate to give each and every species a fair treatment.
Scientific names are reviewed from time to time through international botanical congresses and therefore, they are susceptible to changes. Consequently, the checklist will need updating from time to time. This will only be effected through tracking the changes made by the congress and making amendments to the checklist accordingly.
