An ethnobotanical survey was carried out among 71 people in Issaba. The data collected is processed with Excel 2010 and analyzed from ethnobotanical indices. In total 5 categories of uses are recognized for K. africana by local populations among which traditional medicine is the most cited with thirty-one (31) types of uses. The most used organs are the bark (32 %), tpharmaceuticalformsandhe fruit (19 %). Decoction and calcination are the most commonly used are most administered orally and through the skin.
