| Abstract: | Lesser-used vegetables have numerous dietary and health potentials. Investigations on the biodiversity status of some lesser-used edible leafy vegetables in Akwa Ibom State were carried out using a questionnaire. Twenty (20) vegetables were categorized into four groups and ranked by respondents from 10-160 in order of their importance. In these, ten lesser used vegetables were identified viz: [Microdesmis puberula (Mp), Bombax buonopozense (Bb), Sterculia tragacantha (St), Sesamum indicum (Si), Glyphaea brevis (Gb), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Hr), Heinsia bussei (Hb) and Vernonia polysphaera (Vp), Cleome ciliata (Cc) and Diplazium sammatii (Ds)]. Results show that the ten vegetables were from different plant families. Cc, Ds, Hr, Ji and Si in Uyo had the highest frequency of occurrence of 60% and the least were recorded in Bb, Gb, Hb, Tt and Vp with 20% each. Cc dominated 8000 plants/ha while Bb was 40 plants/ha. Ikot Ekpene recorded 60% in Ji, La, Mp and Tt while 40% was observed in Bb, Cm, Ds, and Pm with the highest and lowest density of 1,200 and 40 plants/ha respectively. In Eket, Glyphaea brevis had the highest occurrence of 80% while the least (20%) were noticed in Ah, Cc, Ds and Mp. Si had the highest density (4,200 plants/ha) while 40 plants/ha was recorded in Ga. Ten vegetables showed a high use-value index while 8 were least observed. The conservation status of Gnetum africana in all three study areas was recorded to be near threatened (food value, agriculture and aquaculture). Results confirmed that the leafy edible vegetables were mostly used as Food, Medicine, Ornamentals and timbers. Due to the expensive cost and limited availability of modern medication, rural and tribal populations rely on vegetables as a source of medicine. To safeguard valuable veggies, native/wild plant species’ cultural legacy and traditional knowledge must be justified by scientific methodologies. |
