ABC_Useful Plants of Malawi: Species used as Herbal aphrodisiacs

Several Ethnobotanical studies by National Herbarium & Botanical Gardens of Malawi(NHBG)and other studies have emphasized the wide use of herbal aphrodisiacs as they have been documented to have an effect on the libido of males by arousing the sexual instinct, induce desire and increasing pleasure and sexual performance. This dataset consists of some species and their localities.NHBG is trying to document these species with regards to their distribution and consequently and assessment of their conservation status because some of these species are extensively being harvested and sold within and outside of Malawi. This dataset consists of some of the species mentioned in most of the enthnobotanical surveys NHBG carries out(unpublished reports) as being used in the treatment of male impotence. Please note that not all localities have been documented in this case because NHBG has just started the process of data digitization.
