Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) is a multipurpose shrub species, but threatened in Burkina Faso. Therefore, understanding its natural regeneration is a challenge for the sustainable management of the species resources. Our study examines the regeneration potentials of A. senegalensis across two phytogeographic zones. The structure of Weibull showed that the distribution of the regeneration individuals based on height classes, was inverse J-shaped in the two phytogeographic zones. The structure reveals a relative predominance of individuals in small size classes. A log-linear adjustment test of Weibull’s confirmed the observed distribution and Weibull distribution were not conformed (p
