'Mbanda' tree trunk with bark patterns (Erthrophleum suaveolens) lots of rainforest species eat the seeds and leaves, but local tribes make a cold water infusion from the inner bark and use as a 'proof poison' - if you are a sorcerer you will die, if not, you vomit. If you are a sorcerer and you vomit then you will lose your nose! Bai Hokou, Dzanga-Ndoki National Park, Central African Republic.. (KEYSTONE/NATURE PICTURE LIBRARY/JABRUSON)
