Phytogeography of the genus Sesamum l (pedaliaceae) in Nigeria, West Tropical Africa
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Crop Science - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
The geographical distribution patterns of Sesamum L species occurring in Nigeria was studied with a view to providing information on their locations within the country for ease of access during need for them. Nigeria was divided into six (6) zones (A-F) for ease of reference and coverage. For thirty six months (36) months, trips were undertaken to various zones as divided for collection of samples. Visual assessments were also made and notes taken on areas of collection. Eight (8) herbaria were also visited with the aim of collecting information on areas of collection by collectors and determinavits.
