AB: Nutritional composition data are presented for 24 indigenous plant specimens, representing 16 species, collected in May-November, 1993, in southern Burkina Faso within a 60 km radius of Zabre and covering the provinces of Boulgou and Nahouri. The total protein, amino acid, total lipid, fatty acid and mineral contents of specimens are tabulated. Plants are noted which contained high levels of protein, linoleic and alpha-linoleic acid, Fe, Zn and Ca. The role that these plants currently play and the potential for further use in supplementing existing staple crops in western Sahel populations is discussed.
