the University deemed it fit to set aside a portion of its
land mass as a nature reserve which will allow the
vegetation to revert to climax status for posterity. This is
the usual practice in most advanced parts of the world.
3 Materials and Methods
The study involved numerous visits to the site for
samples collection. Specimens were collected through
the vegetation of the nature reserve. Samples were
dried, poisoned and mounted in line with conventional
herbarium practice. Solvents employed in poisoning
were ethylated spirit, cyanide gas, Paradichlorobenzene
(PCDB), 2% mercurichloride, and naphthalene (Okoli et
al., 1992). Identification of the specimens was done by
comparison with herbarium specimens in the Department
of Forestry and Wildlife, UNAAB Herbarium, the Forest
Herbarium, Forestry Research Institute Ibadan (FRII)
and the University of Ibadan Herbarium (UIH).
Specimens were deposited at the Department of Forestry
and Wildlife, UNAAB Herbarium.
