\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
In Burkina Faso and other countries of the shea belt, the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) plays a central role in rural livelihoods and ecosystems. Yet, it faces many threats. The aim of this study is to examine local people's classification systems and preferences for shea ethno"=varieties in southwest Burkina Faso to support domestication efforts that respect local priorities for the multiple goods and services the species provides. Work was carried out among the Bobo, Sambla, Mosse and FulBe ethnic groups in two villages in southwest Burkina Faso. Participatory characterisation and ranking matrices were used with 10 groups segregated by gender and ethnicity to understand if knowledge and preferences for shea ethno"=varieties vary among gender and ethnic groups. Results show a general agreement across groups about key criteria defining the classification system and ethno"=variety characteristics. Participants identified 25 shea ethno"=varieties according to 11 primary fruit and nut variants, with 11 ethno"=varieties identified primarily according to the characteristics of their pulp, eight ethno"=varieties identified by their fruit characteristics, and six ethno"=varieties identified by their shea nut traits. The number of ethno"=varieties cited varied only slightly according to gender and ethnicity. Ethno"=varieties identified within a given gender group across ethnicities showed greater consistency than across gender groups. Two ethno"=varieties\permil{}`small shea fruit' and `big shea fruit'\permil{}were preferred across groups because of their high fruit and butter yields and their abundance in the landscape. The study highlights that gender"=sensitive participatory research methods can help illuminate local botanical knowledge and preferences, which can be used to guide tree domestication efforts.}
