Moringa oleifera is native to northern India abut is now widely cultivated in the Tropics. The Flora of Somalia states that it is cultivated "at least in [its regions] S1-3". It is also documented as being cultivated in N1. Its leaves and fruits are eaten as vegetables and use medicinally. Ben oil, used in perfumery and lubrication, is obtained from the seeds. Birkhill (see below) states that "It burns with a clear light and without smoke. It is an excellent salad oil, and gives a good soap... It can be used for oiling machinery, and indeed has a reputation for this purpose as watch oil, but is now superseded by sperm oil.
