Add to ORKGABSTRACT Leaves of Lippia plicata Baker (Verbenaceae) were consumed by an adult female of the M group chimpanzees in thc Mahale Mts. National Park, western Tanzania. The leaves were consumed in a manner similar to the leaves of Aspilia spp., previously sug-gested to be used as medicine by Mahale and Gombe chimpanzees. Evidence from bioassay and from African ethnographical and pharmacological records for the use of Lippia spp. sug-gest that the consumption of L. pUcata by the chimpanzee is also medicinal.
