**11. Other uses identified for ornamental plants in Togo**

Although the first reason for their cultivation is ornamentation and beauty, many ornamental plants are used for other purposes. In Togo, the present study identified: plants for psychomagic, feeding, traditional or industrial cosmetics (**Table 2**), and toxic plants (**Table 3**).

For food plants, fruits and leaves (*Eugenia malaccensis* L. *Gomphrena globosa* L.) are the most used while wood is very useful as timber (*Gmelina arborea* Roxb.) in buildings (*Acacia auriculiformis* L.) and as firewood (*Cassia siamea* Lam.).

For human consumption, 15 plant species was identified, 3 others are reported for traditional cosmetics and 11 in the agro-food system, industrial cosmetics, and wood industry.
