Cochlospermum planchonii in bloom around Pendjari National Park.

Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Elle porte aussi le nom vernaculaire de « faux cotonnier », car les fruits sont des capsules ovoïdes ressemblent à celles du cotonnier contenant des graines noires recouvertes de longs poils blanchâtres. Cette plante sauvage fleurit pendant la saison des pluies contrairement à l'espèce voisine Cochlospermum tinctorium qui fleurit pendant la saison sèche après passage du feu.

Cochlospermum planchonii est l'une des plantes préférées du bétail dans les pâturages au Benin. La racine permet d'extraire de la teinture jaune afin de teindre les pagnes. Les fibres de la plante servent encore à la confection de cordes, autour du parc national de la pendjari.

L'écorce de la racine sert au Nigeria dans le traitement de certains ulcères.
English: This plant also bears the vernacular name of "false cotton", because the fruits are ovoid capsules resembling those of the cotton plant, containing black seeds covered with long whitish hairs.

This wild plant flowers during the rainy season unlike the neighboring species Cochlospermum tinctorium which flowers during the dry season after the fire. Cochlospermum planchonii is one of the favorite plants of cattle on pastures in Benin.

The root extracts yellow dye to dye the loincloths. The fibers of the plant are still used to make ropes around the Punjari National Park.

The root bark is used in Nigeria to treat certain ulcers.
