''Brachylaena huillensis'' is a species of flowering plant in the Asteraceae family. It is found in Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. The tree has a very hard wood, which makes it ideal for processing into charcoal. In fact, the tree was Kenya's main source of fuel until the 1830s.〔http://www.worldagroforestry.org/sea/Products/AFDbases/af/asp/SpeciesInfo.asp?SpID=360〕 It is still a popular fuel source, and in some areas it is threatened by overexploitation. This has led to concern from conservationists over habitat loss for endemic animal species living in ''Brachylaena'' cloud forests.〔http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=57193〕〔http://www.worldagroforestry.org/treedb2/speciesprofile.php?Spid=360〕 ==References== ==Source== * World Conservation Monitoring Centre 1998.
