  abstract = {{A}n inventory concerning traditional {A}frican hepatoprotective remedies has been compiled, from information published in a number of different reports. {N}o synthesis of hepatoprotective plants used in those remedies has as yet been undertaken. {T}his study has brought to light 476 different species used in hepatoprotective medication. {T}hese belong to 105 different families and 301 genera; there have been 1090 mentions of plants for 708 remedies. {A}n initial interpretation of these results has allowed species to be classified in descending order based on the number of countries in which their use is cited. #{S}enna occidentalis$ heads the list with 11 countries, followed by #{C}arica papaya$, #{C}ochlospermum tinctorium$, #{C}ombretum micranthum$ and #{M}orinda lucida$. {M}ost often, these plants are widely distributed and their hepatoprotective effect is already well documented.
