2 Netshia (personal communication), tra-ditional healers know the Plants by vernacular namesonly. This is apparently a way of protecting informationfrom clients so that they may not recognize the plantsused for treating them are actually the same as perhapsthose growing in their backyard. For example,Elaeodendron transvaalensisis connotationally referredto as mukuvhazwivhi/mulumanama by traditional heal-erswhereaslaymencommonlyknowitas mulumanamana , or muswigiri . Despite the differencebetween mulumanama and mulumanamana beingsmall, the traditional healers will simply regardmulumanamana as an unknown species to measures forBrackenridgea zanguebarica,since it is regarded as threatened, have been put in placeby making a reserve around a population of this conservation authorities and the headman make surethat there is no collection of Medicinal plant materialsfrom this reserve.

3 Collection of Medicinal plant materialsis only done outside the reserve and even this has beensuspended since 1997 so that the trees are given time torecover. According to headman Nemafukani, seedlings ofthis plant which have been seen to establish themselves ingreat numbers, will also have enough time to grow intomature Plants . This will ensure a continuous and sustain-able supply of Medicinal materials from the area. The ter-ritorial council arrests people found collecting medicinalmaterials during the recovery period. Because of the factthat headmen from the areas whereBrackenridgeazanguebaricais found are given a share in the cash gener-ated, civic people in such areas also play a conservationistrole by policing the area.

4 This system of managing natu-ral resources by involving traditional leaders and thecommunity was found to be very healers still practise rituals of collecting me-dicinal materials, while in the field. These rituals possiblyensure that the plant from which Medicinal materials arecollected should not die to ensure that the medicineshould work effectively. The interest of traditional heal-ers in hemiparasites and epiphytes on trees was also ob-served. Middlemen are also involved in the collection ofmedicinal plant materials, in some cases, and the signifi-cance of their contribution was studies and publicationsMABOGO, D.
