Cette diversité biologique présente d’importantes opportunités pour toutes les nations du monde. Elle fournit des biens et des services essentiels pour la vie et les aspirations humaines, tout en permettant aux sociétés de s’adapter aux besoins et circonstances variables. La protection de ces acquis naturels et leur exploration continue à travers la science et la technologie offrirait les moyens par lesquels les nations pourraient parvenir à un développement durable. Les valeurs économiques, éthiques, esthétiques, spirituelles, culturelles et religieuses des sociétés humaines sont une partie intégrante de cette complexe équation de protection et de conservation des acquis.

Synopsis of the Genus Vitex (Lamiaceae) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Plant Ecology and Evolution 151 (3): 380–392, 2018 https://doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.2018.1504 REGULAR PAPER Synopsis of the genus Vitex (Lamiaceae) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Pierre Meerts Herbarium et bibliothèque de botanique africaine, Université Libre de Bruxelles, CP 265, Avenue F.D. Roosevelt 50, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium Email: [email protected] Background and aims – The genus Vitex is revised for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (D.R. Congo), in order to prepare the treatment of the genus for the Flore d’Afrique Centrale. Methods – Herbarium taxonomy. All the relevant material kept in BM, BR, BRLU, COI, K, P, POZG, WAG has been examined, supplemented with recent field observations in S Katanga. Key results – A total of 21 taxa are reported for the study area, i.e. 17 species, 1 subspecies, 3 varieties. Two taxa are new to the D.R. Congo (V. ciliata, V. fischeri var. keniensis). Four taxa (3 species, 1 variety) are endemic to the D.R. Congo (Vitex agelaeifolia var. rufula, V. discoideoglandulosa, V. djumaensis, V. rubroaurantiaca). Two other taxa are subendemic, i.e. have most of their range in D.R. Congo (Vitex congolensis var. thomasii, V. cuspidata). Two new combinations are made (Vitex congolensis var. thomasii, V. fischeri var. keniensis). Nine new synonyms are proposed. A lectotype is designated for 17 names and a second-step lectotype is designated for one name. An identification key is included. Key words – Taxonomy, Vitex, identification key, Central Africa, lectotypification, revision. INTRODUCTION During that work, a number of taxonomic and nomenclatural issues had to be solved, with implications beyond the borders The genus Vitex L. -
