• This paper reports an example of agrobiodiversity in central Africanrainforests. In central Africa, people manage agriculture characterized by vegetative cropsand shifting and intercropping culture. They plant many crop species and cultivars in a fi eldsimultaneously. Tolerated wild plants such as uncut trees and weeds also exist in fields. Ifound 29 species of uncut trees in 9 fi elds and 102 species of weeds in a fi eld area of 750 m2.People recognize these wild plants well and assign utilities to most of them, such as medicine,food, and other useful materials. These domesticated and wild plants generate biodiversity infarmlands. This fact cannot be explained only by functional aspects; therefore, I attempted toclarify the cultural and historical background of the agrobiodiversity in this region.
