Background: In Kenya, the endangered East African Sandalwood, sourced mostly from limited natural stands, is widely used by local rural populations for multiple purposes including for nutraceutical and health benefits, but its potential for domestication and poverty alleviation are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify current sources and uses of the plant, cultural values, taboos, and beliefs associated with its use and management, and how local knowledge of the plant is acquired and transmitted to younger generations, all with a view of contributing to its conservation and sustainable use.Methods: The data on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, local knowledge of plant utilization, cultural beliefs, values, and taboos associated with the plant, and transmission of inter-generational knowledge were collected from May 2018 to November 2018. Data were collected from seven traditional healers and 384 household heads with knowledge of the plant, residing in sixty Kamba villages and thirty Maasai villages on the Eastern and Western sides of Chyulu Hills Ecosystem, respectively, using structured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and Focus Group Discussions.Results: Findings revealed that the plant was mainly sourced from the natural protected forests. The major uses were medicinal while knowledge on cultural values, taboos and beliefs related to East African Sandalwood were known by only 35% of participants. Plant knowledge was transmitted inter-generationally mainly by parents and grandparents (74%). Differences between ethnic group (p=0.000, X 2 =176.173), occupation (p=0.000; X 2 =122.615) and on-farm sources of income (p=0.000, X 2 =131.568) as well as ethnic group (p=0.000, X 2 =138.433), occupation (p=0.000, X 2 =113.999) and on-farm sources of income (p=0.008, X 2 =64.668) were statistically significant on current uses and the cultural values, taboos, and beliefs of the plant respectively Conclusions: The results should contribute to the on-going domestication, propagation, and sustainable conservation of the plant. Although the species is used for multiple purposes, its main value was found in medical applications and hence has a commercial potential in the alternative pharmaceutical sector.

Hugonia mystax is a woody evergreen plant that grows in the dry forest areas of India and Sri Lanka. Often found in the forests of Kerala and Tamil Nadu in southern India. It is locally known as modirakanni (tamil) and kamsamaraha and tribals from Tamil Nadu, India, have used it in primary health care. The plant parts are used ethnobotanically to treat rheumatism, skin diseases and inflammations, snake bites, fever, and worm infestation. Hugonia mystax is an antibiotic, anthelmintic, febrifuge, astringent, peptic ulcer and verminosis remedy. Hugonia mystax has been practising herbal medicine for a long time. This plant is a member of the linaceae family and is an essential medicinal plant in Indian medicine. To evaluate the extractive values, powdered materials were subjected to successive extractions with ethanol using the Soxhlet process. The existence of several compounds such as flavonoids, phenolic elements, steroids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, and carbohydrates was revealed by qualitative phytochemical screening of the ethanolic extracts of the leaves, as well as GC-MS analysis to examine the chemical components present in it. A total of twenty-seven compounds were discovered in the ethanolic extract. The findings of this study would form the basis for the manufacture of herbal medicines for a variety of ailments using Hugonia mystax leaves.
