Résumé
Les Légumineuses Mimosoïdées africaines de forêts ombrophiles de basse altitude sont riches de 65 espèces. L’étude de leur répartition est faite en fonction des principales subdivisions chorologiques et des types forestiers. Des centres de biodiversité sont reconnus et l’importance du domaine camerouno-congolais est mise en évidence. Un centre de biodiversité malgache existe dans les formations forestières orientales.
Abstract
The Mimosoideae subfamily of the Leguminosae in African lowland moist forests consists of a number of 65 species. The distribution of these species is studied in the major phytochoria and vegetation types. Main centres of biodiversity are recognized and the cameroonian-congolese domain emerges as very important. The eastern forests of Madagascar also constitute a centre of biodiversity.
