Abstract: The Arly National Park of southeastern Burkina Faso is in the center of the WAP complex, the largest continuous
system of protected areas in West Africa. Although well known for its large mammal populations, its flora has largely been
unexplored until recently. The plant species composition is typical for sudanian savanna areas with a high share of grasses
and legumes and similar to other protected areas of the complex, the neighbouring Pama reserve and W National Park.
It has more species in common with the classified forest of Kou in SW Burkina Faso than with the geographically closer
Sahel reserve. The 490 species belong to 280 genera and 83 families. The most important life forms are phanerophytes and
therophytes.
Introduction
For Burkina Faso, only very few comprehensive
assessments of local floras have been published (e.g.,
Guinko and Thiombiano 2005; Ouoba et al. 2006;
Gnoumou et al. 2008). There is virtually no information
available about the flora of the country’s protected areas,
although this knowledge is important for the conservation
of endangered species and habitats and the management
of these protected areas. Even on the larger scale of West
Africa, local assessments of the flora are mainly restricted
to the forest region (Jongkind et al. 1999; Jongkind 2007a,
b; Aké Assi et al. 2005; Ekpe 2005; Holié and Delamou
2004; 2006; Couch and Williams 2006; Luke 2007; Siaw
and Dabo 2007). Following a recent publication on the
partial faunal reserve of Pama (Mbayngone et al. 2008) this
paper continues to close gaps in knowledge on the plant
diversity of West African protected areas by providing a
comprehensive checklist of Arly National Park.
Materials and Methods
Study Area
The Arly National Park (Figure 1) resulted from the
merging of the total reserve of Madjoari and the total
reserve of Arly in 1978 (Ouattara 1994) and is presently a
protected area of IUCN category II. The forestry authorities
have further increased the area to include a part of the
Gobnangou mountain chain. The park covers now an area
of 120.000 ha and is part of the so-called WAP complex
(W-Arly-Pendjari), a large transfrontier complex of nature
reserves consisting of Arly National Park, the neighbouring
Pendjari National Park south of the Pendjari river in Benin,
the W National Park shared by Benin, Burkina Faso and
Niger, several partial faunal reserves and hunting zones.
Hunting is forbidden in Arly National Park and by lack of
infrastructure there is only limited ecotourism possible
at present. The whole complex is well-known for its
wildlife including large populations of elephants and lions
(Lamarque 2004; Balança et al. 2007). It has a much denser
Check List | Volume 7 | Issue 1 | 2011
vegetation than the surrounding areas, where agriculture
has encroached on savannas and forests and tall perennial
grasses almost disappeared, so that its borders are even
visible from space (e.g. in the map in UNEP 2008).
Among the reserves of the WAP complex, Arly has a
high habitat diversity, including extensive gallery forests
of the Arly and Pendjari rivers (Figure 2), sandstone hills
of the Gobnangou chain (Figure 3), sudanian savannas
dominated by tall perennial grasses and closed woodlands.
The park has been inventoried for birds (Green
and Sayer 1979) and large mammals (Green 1979) but
detailed plant information is up to now restricted on
studies on woody plant structure (Ouédraogo et al. 2008)
and regeneration (Ouédraogo et al. 2009).
Data collection
The species listed here were compiled mainly from
the surveys by O. Ouédraogo in the years 2004 to 2007
covering all habitat types of the park, complemented by
several herb layer relevés conducted by M. Schmidt in
Figure 1. Map of Arly National Park with boundary and watercourses.
Altitudinal information is taken from SRTM 90 data.

Ouédraogo et al. | Magnoliophyta, Arly National Park, Burkina Faso
2002 (Schmidt 2006), rapid assessments of an expedition
in late 2008 and specimen data from the herbarium of
the University of Ouagadougou (OUA) and the Herbarium
Senckenbergianum (FR). The species names and synonymy
follow the African Flowering Plants Database (Gautier
et al. 2006), families are assigned according to Brummit
(1992), but family names like Compositae or Gramineae
are replaced by the standard names referring to the type
genus. Species have been determined using Hutchinson
and Dalziel (1954-1972), Berhaut (1971-1988), Arbonnier
(2002), Akoègninou et al. (2006) and the West African
Plants Database (http://westafricanplants.senckenberg.
de, Brunken et al. 2008).
Life form information has been assembled from
Guinko (1984), Aké Assi (2001; 2002) and supplemented
by own observations. The more detailed information in
the mentioned literature has been reduced to the main
types, as defined by Raunkiaer (1905), in order to have a
comparable definition of life forms.
The chorological types refer to the phytochoria of
White (1983), also used in other studies of the region
(Sinsin 2001; Mbayngone et al. 2008).
Data analysis
The comparisons with other reserves in Burkina Faso
are based on the publications of Guinko and Thiombiano
(2005) for the Forêt Classée de la Kou, Mbayngone et al.
(2008) for the Reserve partielle de la faune de Pama,
Schmidt et al. (2008) for the Reserve sylvo-pastorale et
partielle de faune du Sahel and Arbonnier et al. (2002) for
the Niger part of the Parc National de la W du Niger. The
nomenclature has been harmonized using the synonymy
of the African Flowering Plants Database (Gautier et
al. 2006), therefore slight differences from the original
publications are possible. Calculation of species in
common and exclusive to certain reserves has been done
in Microsoft Excel, calculation of Sørensen indices and
clustering has been done in Community Analysis Package
(v.4, Pisces Conservation Ltd.).
Results and Discussion
The Arly National Park contributes highly to the
conservation of the country’s flora. We found 490 species
(Table 1) which represent about 30% of all vascular
plants inventoried in Burkina Faso (Schmidt et al. 2010).
The Park’s flora consists of 280 genera belonging to 83
families. The ten most species rich families are Fabaceae
(95 species), followed by Poaceae (88), Cyperaceae (27),
Rubiaceae (22), Combretaceae (19), Euphorbiaceae (14),
Acanthaceae (13), Convolvulaceae (13), Malvaceae (12)
and Asteraceae (11) (Figure 4).
The family composition (Figure 4) is very similar
to the family composition of the nearby Pama reserve
(Mbayngone et al. 2008). The most striking difference is
the higher family richness in Arly (83 as compared to 73)
and the higher species richness in some families, especially
the Combretaceae.
Similar to the family composition of the Pama reserve
and W National Park, the dominance of grasses and
legumes in Arly National Park is very typical of savannas
(Bourlière and Hadley 1970) and is found throughout
Burkina Faso (Schmidt et al. 2005; Schmidt et al. 2010), up
Check List | Volume 7 | Issue 1 | 2011
to the very North (Schmidt et al. 2008) and in the nearby
Atakora mountains of Benin (Wala unpublished data).
The ten most species rich genera are Indigofera (18
species), Combretum (11), Cyperus (11), Ipomoea (9),
Acacia (8), Crotalaria (8), Andropogon (7), Eragrostis
(7), Hyparrhenia (7) and Tephrosia (7). Altogether they
constitute 19% of the National Park’s flora.
The life form composition (Figure 5) is dominated by
phanerophytes (40%) and therophytes (33%), followed by
chamaephytes (10%), hemicryptophytes (9%), geophytes
(5%), hydrophytes (2%) and helophytes (1%). This is a
typical pattern for the North Sudanian Zone (Hahn-Hadjali
et al. 2006). Towards the Sahel the portion of therophytes
increases at the expense of the phanerophytes (Schmidt et
al. 2005). In the South Sudanian Zone phanerophytes are
even more important (Koulibaly et al. 2006).
The chorological spectrum of the flora (Figure 6) is
characterized by a high proportion of species specific
to savanna regions (sudanian, sudano-zambesian) and
a high proportion of wide-spread species (pantropical,
paleotropical, pluriregional african, afrotropical). Sudanoguinean and guineo-congolian elements are mainly
confined to the gallery forests.
The comparison of published inventories of protected
areas of the region (Figure 7, Table 1) includes two

neighbouring areas of the so-called WAP complex - the
Pama reserve (Mbayngone et al. 2008) and the Niger part
of the W transboundary park (Arbonnier et al. 2002),
another sudanian site in the SW of Burkina Faso - the
classified forest of Kou (Guinko and Thiombiano 2005)
and the country’s largest protected area - the Sahel reserve
(Schmidt et al. 2008).
Most similar are Pama and Arly, grouping together
with the W Park. As the geographic position in the center
might suggest, Arly is more similar to either Pama or W
Park, than these are to each other and has the fewest
species exclusively found within its area. The mentioned
three areas of the WAP complex are most similar to
the Kou forest, the closer they are geographically. The
environmental differences and larger distance to the other
reserves makes the Sahel reserve the most distinctive
in species composition. Although it has the lowest total
species richness of the larger reserves (Kou forest is very
small), it has the highest number of “exclusive” species.
