Saba senegalensis, known as weda in the Moore, "Oraa" in Dagaare, liane in French, madd in Wolof and laare in Pulaar, is a fruit-producing plant of the Apocynaceae family, native to the Sahel region of sub-Saharan Africa. It has several common names in various West African languages. The tree grows predominantly on riverbanks and in woodlands in Senegal, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, Burkina Faso, Somalia and Ivory Coast. It has been observed growing as vine up trees, as a small erect shrub, and oftentimes growing to the size of a large tree. ICRISAT has cited S. senegalensis as a useful food crop plant and as a tool to combat soil degradation in rural Africa.
