Description Top

Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Brachylaena huillensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae found in Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. It is known for its hard wood, which is used to make charcoal and was once the main source of fuel in Kenya until the 1830s. Overexploitation of the tree has led to concern from conservationists over habitat loss for endemic animal species living in Brachylaena cloud forests.
