Abstract

The crude protein of the leaves of the ten Philippine tree vegetables, Alibangbang (Bauhimia malabarica Roxb.), Anonang (Cordia dichotoma Forst. f.), Katuray Sesbania grandiflora (L) Pers., MAlabagyo (Glax iimbricata Roxb.), Niogniogan (Ficus pseudopalmaBlco.), Pingkapinkahan /Croxylum indicum (L)) Vent./ Tadyangamuang /Canthium momstrogum/ (A. Gray) Merr. / Tangisang bayawak (Ficus variegata Blume), Tibig /Ficus nota (Blco.) Merr./ Trumphet tree (Cecropia peltata L.) were determined. Katuray had the highest protein level. Tibig had the lowest.

Crude protein decreased with leaf maturation. The rate of decline, however, varied among the vegetables. Greatest decline was exhibited by Trumphet tree and the least by Pingkapinkahan.
