Maesopsis eminii is a tree species (plant family Rhamnaceae) which is endemic to Africa and also known as the Umbrella tree. Its leaves are used as fodder. Usually grown as shade trees in Coffee plantations.[1][2] Birds and monkeys disperse the seeds.[3] Since this tree grows fast it is used for regeneration of destroyed forest lands.[4]
