Abstract
The genus Coffea (Rubiaceae) consists of approximately 80 species which are native from a wide region of tropical Africa, Madagascar and neighbouring island (Carvalho et al., 1984). While botanists consider the coffee tree similar to any other plant of the Rubiaceae family, which reproduce seeds resembling beans, the international coffee trade is concerned with only two species, Coffea arabica and C. canephora. However, coffee beans can be produced by many other Coffea species. Therefore, the gene pool, useful for both C. arabica and C. canephora breeding, is made up of all Coffea species (Berthaud and Charrier, 1988).
