ABSTRACT. — A checklist of the Mimosoideae (Leguminosae) of Equatorial Guinea comprising 21 genera and 40 taxa is presented. Two species are known from Annobón, 18 from
Bioko and 37 from Río Muni. The best represented genera are Albizia and Newtonia with five
species each. In addition, bibliographic references for Mimosoideae (Leguminosae) from
Equatorial Guinea have been gathered and checked. Fourteen taxa are recorded for the first
time from the country. A statistical summary is presented at the end of the checklist.
KEY WORDS. — Annobón, Bioko, checklist, Equatorial Guinea, Mimosoideae (Leguminosae), Río Muni.
—————————————————————————————————————————
INTRODUCTION
The Leguminosae form the third largest plant
family of the world, comprising about 650 genera
and ca. 18000 species. The subfamily Mimosoideae, with ca. 3000 species in 50-60 genera, are
distributed worldwide and are abundant in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas
(POLHILL & RAVEN 1981). In tropical Africa Acacia, Albizia, Entada and Newtonia are the richest
in number of species (LEBRUN & STORK 1992).
Important works on Mimosoideae of West
tropical Africa include those of OLIVER (1871) and
KEAY (1958). The most recent work on Mimosoideae from the region is VILLIERS (1989).
A complete account of the Mimosoideae
(Leguminosae) of Equatorial Guinea has never
been published. Although they were included in
the general vascular plant catalogue of GUINEA
(1946), this author added plants that he presumed
to be present in Equatorial Guinea.
Over the last 20 years the Real Jardín
Botánico has carried out intensive fieldwork in
both Bioko and Río Muni. These new collections
and the available historical specimens have permitted the preparation of checklists of several
groups: Pteridophytes (HERRERO et al. 2001,
VELAYOS et al. 2001), Piperaceae (FERO et al.
2003), Melastomataceae (PARMENTIER & GEERINCK
2003) and Cyperaceae (CABEZAS et al. 2004). This
work has been complemented by studies on the
inselbergs vegetation carried out by botanists
from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (LEJOLY &
LISOWSKI 1999, PARMENTIER 2001, 2003, PARMENTIER et al. 2001).
The aim of this paper is to update the catalogue of Mimosoideae for the whole of Equatorial
Guinea including both bibliographic records and
herbarium material. This checklist is a new step
towards a modern Flora of Equatorial Guinea.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The checklist is primarily based on herbarium
specimens. We have studied more than 140 specimens
from BM, BRLU, K, LISU and MA, including both the
historic collections made during British expeditions by
12
BELGIAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY 138
Mann, Tessmann and Vogel, and modern collections
obtained by both Belgian and Spanish expeditions.
Bibliographic references for the legumes of
Equatorial Guinea have also been checked (AEDO et al.
1999). Two species are included, that are based only on
literature records since their distribution areas make
their presence in Equatorial Guinea probable. They are
quoted with the number between brackets. Eight introduced species are presented in the checklist; they are
marked with an asterisk (*) before the accepted name.
The locality names used in this checklist have
been brought up-to-date following VELAYOS et al.
(2001 : 147-149), in which a gazeteer including geographical coordinates can be found.
The checklist is alphabetically ordered by genera
and species. Generic circumscription is in accordance
with LOCK (1989), although recent molecular data suggest that Acacia should be divided into three or four
genera (MASLIN et al. 2003). When available we used
monographs or regional works as those of VILLIERS
(1984, 1990).
Under each accepted name a list of synonyms
used in the relevant literature is given. Specimens are
ordered alphabetically by the different regions and
provinces: Annobón, Bioko (provinces of Bioko Norte
and Bioko Sur) and Río Muni (provinces of Centro Sur,
Kie Ntem, Litoral and Wele Nzas).
Previous bibliographical records of each taxon are
grouped under the already mentioned three regions.
When a taxon was reported under a different name
(synonym) it is indicated as follows: GUINEA 1946 : 289,
sub Pithecellobium saman. In the case of a misidentification the author’s name is included following the cited
species (LOCK 1989 : 86, sub Inga rodrigueziana
Pittier). Doubtful records are placed at the end of the
checklist.

33. — (*)Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R. Br. ex G.
Don
Parkia oliveri J. F. Macbr.
Parkia africana R. Br.
Parkia clappertonia Keay
Annobón : Ilha de Anno Bon, terras cultivadas, Newton s.n. (LISU-165621).
This species has been reported from Annobón (SOBRINHO 1953 : 183, sub Parkia oliveri,
EXELL 1956 : 18, sub P. oliveri, EXELL 1973a :
359, sub P. oliveri), Bioko (GUINEA 1946 : 291,
sub P. africana, EXELL 1973a : 359, sub P. clappertonia) and Río Muni (GUINEA 1946 : 291, sub
P. africana).
We have identified the previously mentioned
sterile specimen as P. biglobosa because it has 1112 pairs of pinnae, 13-38 subopposite leaflets
pairs (7-15 ⫻ 1.5-3 mm), with a straight main
nerve, and a single, orbicular gland at petiole base
as well as greyish pubescence along the main
rachis (HOPKINS 1983 : 141-148, HALL et al. 1997 :
6). This identification is also in accordance with
the label included by M.C. Liberato in the specimen at LISU, although under the name Parkia
africana (synonym of the currently accepted
name P. biglobosa).
The occurrence of this species in Annobón is
remarkable, since it falls outside the range of this
well known Sahel-Soudan-zone species. The
propagation by seeds is only possible after seeds
have been eaten by large mammals (or 100% HCl)
to break down the woody seed coat, such introduction cannot have taken place without great difficulties (WIERINGA, pers. comm.). HALL et al.
(1997 : 20) suggested that this species could be
present in Annobón and neighbouring Cameroon
and São Tomé, as a result of introductions.

DOUBTFUL RECORDS
Albizia moluccana Miq.
This species has been reported from Bioko
(GUINEA 1946 : 290, EXELL 1973a : 356). BARNEBY
& GRIMES (1996) included this species sub
Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & Grimes.
It originates from the islands of the Pacific Molucas and Papua New Guinea, and has been introduced in Central America. We also found this
species reported sub Albizia falcataria (L.)
Fosberg from several African countries like Angola, Nigeria and São Tomé (LIBERATO 1973 : 24,
LOCK 1989 : 81). We have not been able to study
the specimens supporting these records and,
therefore, we cannot ascribe them to any accepted
name. Its presence in Equatorial Guinea seems
not very likely.
Desmanthus virgatus (L.) Willd.
This species has been reported from Río
Muni (GUINEA 1946 : 291). We have not found any
herbarium material of D. virgatus from Equatorial
Guinea in BM, K, LISU and MA. This species
originally is from America and it has been introduced in the neighbouring São Tomé & Príncipe
(LOCK 1989 : 88, LUCKOW 1993 : 135), but we
found neither material nor previous references
from any other place in Central Africa. Hence its
presence in Equatorial Guinea seems not very
likely.
Entada africana Guill. & Perr.
This species has been reported from Bioko
(OLIVER 1871 : 326, GUINEA 1946 : 291, EXELL
1973a : 358). The reference by OLIVER (1871) is
based on a voucher by Mann, and OLIVER
explained that the “Flora of Tropical Africa” was
based on the material deposited at Kew. BERHAUT
(1952) argued that this record most probably concerns Mann 20 which belongs to E. mannii. The
record from GUINEA (1946) is probably based on
the same specimen of Mann, while EXELL (1973a)
only referred to GUINEA’S book. Although E.
africana is a West and Central African species, we
have not found any herbarium material of E.
africana from Equatorial Guinea in BM, K, LISU
and MA. Since its distribution seems to be
restricted to the drier zones (BRENAN 1963 : 364),
its occurrence in Equatorial Guinea seems unlikely.

MIMOSOIDEAE OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA
STATISTICAL SUMMARY
The total number of indigenous and introduced taxa listed here for Equatorial Guinea is 40.
The species list is based on herbarium material,
with the exception of two reports from the literature: Dichrostachys cinerea and Fillaeopsis discophora, whose distribution ranges suggest they
may occur in Equatorial Guinea.
It is known that Equatorial Guinea is poorly
explored from a botanical point of view. The history and intensity of botanical expeditions has
been quite different for the three main regions of
the country (AEDO & VELAYOS 2001), with Río
Muni being the less explored territory. Although
we present 37 taxa in this paper, many species
reported from both Cameroon and Gabon have
not been found yet. For example the flora of
Gabon (260 000 km2) includes 45 species of
Mimosoideae. If we assume Río Muni (26 000
km2) can shelter such a number of species, about
82% of the species have already been found.
Species that can be expected to occur in Río
Muni, including our two reports accepted from
the literature, are listed in Table 1. We hope that
this would facilitate future explorations.
It is interesting to note that the number of
indigenous Mimosoideae species found on the
islands of the Gulf of Guinea decreases as the distance to the mainland increases (Table 2). However, other factors such as size of the island or altitudinal range could contribute to explain these
differences in species number. The high number
of species found in Bioko reflects the continental
influence in this island (EXELL 1973b : 7), since it
is only separated 32 km from Cameroon coast.
Eight introduced species were included in
the checklist, since they may be naturalized in
Equatorial Guinea owing to human activity. This
number of aliens is similar to those found in
neighbouring Gabon (9 species, VILLIERS 1989)
and São Tomé & Príncipe (13 species, LIBERATO
1973). The most striking is the high percentage of
naturalized Mimosoideae in São Tomé & Príncipe
(76%) and Bioko (38%) in comparison with Río
Muni (21%) or Gabon (20%) (Table 2). Gabon
and Equatorial Guinea are two of the countries of
West and Central Africa with the largest percentage of original closed canopy forest (88.2% 227 500 km2 and 65.4% - 17 004 km2, respectively ; HAMILTON 1994). On the other hand, São Tomé
& Príncipe and Bioko have been intensively culti-

vated for a long time, and in the former only 299
km2 (31.1%) of original closed forests have remained untouched.
In Equatorial Guinea Mimosoideae are comparatively poor in species but rich in genera
(Table 3). According to VILLIERS (1989 : 13) this is
a characteristic of the Mimosoideae in Africa,
where there are a great number of monospecific
genera or genera with few species, such as
Aubrevillea, Cylicodiscus or Piptadeniastrum.
