Exact excerpt

A total of 50 WEPs species belonging to 41 genera and 33 families were documented. Trees (32%) and herbs (32%) were the dominant growth forms, while fruits (48.0%) and leaves (16.0%) represented the most frequently utilized edible parts. Most species were consumed fresh, emphasizing their importance as readily available seasonal food resources that complement local diets. Among the documented species, Ficus sur Forssk., Rosa abyssinica R.Br. ex Lindl., and Syzygium guineense (Willd.) DC. were the most culturally important WEPs, exhibiting the highest Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) values of 0.972, 0.958, and 0.924, respectively. Indigenous knowledge varied significantly among socio-demographic groups (P < 0.005), with age and literacy level showing the strongest effects.
