Lanneoma triphylla (Hochst. ex A.Rich.) Marchand
Odina triphylla Hochst. ex A.Rich.
Poupartia triphylla (Hochst. ex A.Rich.) Marchand
This tree is propagated by seeds and stem cuttings. Steps to follow: 1. Seed propagation: • Sow collected seeds in seed tray filled with a ratio of 3 peat moss: 1 compost, 5 cm apart. • Irrigate the seed tray three times a week. • Germination commences from 24 days. Seed germination of this species is very low and average germination percentage is around 2%. 2. Cutting propagation: • For stem cutting propagation, use semi-hardwood cuttings with at least 5 nodes. • For better rooting results, use cutting hormone, and plant in long root trainer or pots filled with a ratio of 1 peat moss: 3 perlites: 1 compost. • Leave cutting in a bench with mist irrigation. • Stem roots can appear after 167 days, with average rooting percentage around 1%.

In Omani studies: Miller & Morris (1988) wrote that: "Lannea (J: eynur; enbor) is not common in Dhofar, occurring mainly in the better-watered riverbeds and in the vicinity of the major perennial waterholes, such as those at the back of the coastal plain. The produce fruit at the end of the summer dry season which are the size of a small grape, and ripen to a reddish orange. These berries were usually chewed and swallowed whole, though the single pip is very hard and indigestible. When green they are extremely sour, and at this stage were most preferred, especially by women, who traditionally are the greatest lovers of such sour testing and acrid fruits. Pregnant women un particular would gather these and other sour fruits, and it can be assumed that such fruits contain vitamins, minerals and trace elements needed by the female body and the developing foetus at this

time. Tiny saplings were also pulled up, like those of various Commiphora species, and the root and underbark chewed and swallowed. As well as assuaging hunger, the chewed pith also provides a sweet and refreshing drink. The trees are not common enough to have been important as firewood, but dry branches were appreciated as fuel, producing a good heat and little smoke. As building material it was regarded as inferior, since the wood cracks and splits". (Ref. Plants of Dhofar).
