Abstract: It was established that the importance of Combretaceae varied in the Groundnut Basin lands from identification and inventory of trees, shrubs and seedlings in the woody stands. The family consisted of nine species in four genera. The genus Combretum was more represented (5 species), followed by Terminalia (2 species), Guiera (1 species) and Anogeissus (1species). Combretum glutinosum represented 85% of the total size (2202 individuals). It was followed by Guiera senegalensis with 11.2% (289 individuals). The other species had a frequency below 2%. The family of Combretaceae reflected a population which functional organization was focused by Combretum glutinosum. The stand structure (basal diameter classes and height) indicated that it was mostly young. The regeneration potential was significant for Combretum glutinosum and Guiera senegalensis while for other species, it was compromised.
