Locality: Huye campus, Huye, Southern Province Abstract: The Huye campus is an arboretum. The University of Rwanda at Huye is home to nearly 200 kinds of plants. To learn more about these plants follow one or more of the past indicated on the map below. Numbers on the map refer to the plant name, listed alphabetically by common name first with the scientific name following.
