(), a critically endangered mystical plant, is a highly valued and overharvested multiuse tree species by local population in Burkina Faso. The ethnobotany of can lead to its sustainable use, therefore it is a great challenge because little information is available on this aspect concerning the species in Burkina Faso as well as in Africa. Thus, this study aims to assess the sustainable use and management of in Burkina Faso. The study was conducted along a climate gradient (Sudanian and Sudano-Sahelian climatic zones) in Burkina Faso. Data were collected randomly through selected semi-structured interviews with 405 informants (148 women and 257 men) randomly selected from 34 villages and 25 ethnolinguistic groups. Frequency of citation was computed. Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test and Generalized Linear Models analyses were performed to determine whatever information varied according to site and socio-demographic parameters. Among eight use categories, food (27.89%), livestock (18.97%), shade (16.23%), and pharmacopeia (14.92%) were the most recorded. Leaves (63.83%), roots (19.20%), and bark (17.11%) were the most valued plant parts. All plant parts were used to heal 29 ailments in 37 ways. The most common diseases treated by were vitamin deficiencies (FL = 8.84%), malaria (FL = 8.44%), cast (FL = 5.84%), madness (FL = 3.25%), eye ache (FL = 2.77%) and yellow fever (FL = 2.60%). Sacred forests (39%) and protected areas (27%) were the key biotopes of . Value of was well-treasured in the study sites. The frequency of citation of some use patterns and plant parts varied significantly across some ethnolinguistic groups, sex and generation levels ( < 0.05). Management such as sowing (0%), seedling transplantation (0%) and assisted natural regeneration (0%) were lacking. Sacred (37.99%), taboo (25.04%), mystic (11.62%), magic (10.28%) fetish (8.96%) and medico-magic (6.12%) characters of determined the traditional conservation strategies of the species in Burkina Faso. Our results recommend that the conservation policies and sustainable use of should be prioritized. Furthermore, studies should thus emphasize the domestication potential of for its plant parts.
（某濒危神秘植物名称）是一种极度濒危的神秘植物，是布基纳法索当地居民高度重视且过度采伐的多用途树种。该植物的民族植物学研究有助于其可持续利用，因此这是一项巨大挑战，因为在布基纳法索以及非洲，关于该物种这方面的信息非常少。因此，本研究旨在评估布基纳法索该植物的可持续利用与管理情况。研究在布基纳法索沿着气候梯度（苏丹和苏丹 - 萨赫勒气候区）展开。通过对从34个村庄和25个民族语言群体中随机选取的405名信息提供者（148名女性和257名男性）进行选定的半结构化访谈随机收集数据。计算引用频率。进行了Kruskal - Wallis检验、Mann - Whitney检验和广义线性模型分析，以确定信息是否因地点和社会人口统计学参数而有所不同。在八个使用类别中，食物（27.89%）、牲畜（18.97%）、遮荫（16.23%）和药典用途（14.92%）的记录最为常见。叶子（63.83%）、根（19.20%）和树皮（17.11%）是最受重视的植物部位。所有植物部位以37种方式用于治疗29种疾病。该植物治疗的最常见疾病是维生素缺乏症（频率 = 8.84%）、疟疾（频率 = 8.44%）、烧伤（频率 = 5.84%）、疯癫（频率 = 3.25%）、眼痛（频率 = 2.77%）和黄热病（频率 = 2.60%）。神圣森林（39%）和保护区（27%）是该植物的关键生物群落。在研究地点，该植物的价值得到了很好的珍视。一些使用模式和植物部位的引用频率在不同民族语言群体、性别和代际水平之间存在显著差异（P < 0.05）。缺乏播种（0%）、幼苗移植（0%）和辅助自然更新（0%）等管理措施。该植物的神圣（37.
