cité in Boscia salicifolia (PROTA):

Boscia senegalensis (Pers.) Lam. ex Poir. occurs in similar habitats as Boscia salicifolia, from Mauritania and Senegal east to Eritrea and Ethiopia. It is an important medicinal plant, but even more important for its edible fruits. Boscia albitrunca (Burch.) Gilg & Benedict and Boscia coriacea Pax are other species of which the edible fruits are more important than their medicinal uses.
