Abstract This study provides a checklist of the Papilionoideae (Leguminosae)
present in Equatorial Guinea, comprising 55 genera and 157 taxa. Twenty-six
species are known from Annobón, 91 from Bioko and 110 from Río Muni. The best
represented genus is Millettia with 14 species. Bibliographic references for
Papilionoideae (Leguminosae) from Equatorial Guinea have been gathered and
checked. Seventeen species are included, because published data on their
distribution range suggests they may occur in Equatorial Guinea; 15 species are
introduced and likely already naturalized; and 48 taxa are recorded for the first time
from the country. This represents an increase of over 30% in the floristic knowledge
of Papilionoideae from Equatorial Guinea. Three species only known from their
types may be considered as endemic to Equatorial Guinea: Amphimas tessmannii,
Leptoderris oxytropis and Millettia mildbraedii.

Introduction
Leguminosae is the third largest plant family in the world, comprising about 730 genera
and ca. 19,300 species. Considering the number of species, the Papilionoideae with ca.
13,600–14,000 species in ca. 478 genera is the largest of the three subfamilies in which
the legumes are usually subdivided. The Papilionoideae are especially abundant in
temperate areas, but they are also present in tropical and subtropical regions (Lewis et al.
2005; Heywood et al. 2007).

M. de la Estrella et al.
Important works on Papilionoideae of West tropical Africa include those of Oliver
(1871), Keay (1958) or Pellegrin (1949). Other works that included this region are
restricted to just a few Papilionoideae genera (Soladoye 1985; Breteler 1994).
Equatorial Guinea is located in western Central Africa. The insular region
includes two islands in the Gulf of Guinea: Bioko (2,017 km2), ca. 32 km from the
Cameroon coast, and Annobón (17 km2), ca. 400 km from Gabonian coast. The
continental mainland, Río Muni (26,000 km2), is located between 1° N and 2° N
latitude (Fig. 1). A compilation of data about location, phytogeography, climate and
hydrogeography, can be found in Guinea (1946), De Castro and De la Calle (1985),
Pérez del Val (1993), Heras et al. (2002) or Velayos et al. (2008).
A complete account of the Papilionoideae (Leguminosae) of Equatorial Guinea
has never been published. Although the subfamily was included in the general
vascular plant catalogue of Guinea (1946), plants were added that were expected to
be present in Equatorial Guinea.
Over the last 25 years the Real Jardín Botánico has carried out intensive
fieldwork in both Bioko and Río Muni. Studies of these new collections and the
available historical specimens have permitted the description of new taxa and the
preparation of checklists of several groups (Herrero et al. 2001; Velayos et al.
2001; Fero et al. 2003; Parmentier and Geerinck 2003; Cabezas et al. 2004, 2005,
2009), and studies on the inselberg vegetation, carried out by botanists from the
Université Libre de Bruxelles (Lejoly and Lisowski 1999; Parmentier 2001, 2003;
Parmentier et al. 2001; Senterre 2001; Senterre and Lejoly 2001; Senterre et al.
2004). The present work complements the previous ones on this family:
Leguminosae-Mimosoideae (Estrella et al. 2005) and Leguminosae-Caesalpinioideae
(Estrella et al. 2006).
This work aims to update the catalogue of Papilionoideae 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 750 specimens from BM, BRLU, K, LISU, MA and WAG including both the
historic collections made during European expeditions by Barter, Mann, Newton,
Tessmann and Vogel, and modern collections obtained by both Belgian and Spanish
expeditions. For comparative purposes some specimens from neighbouring countries
were also studied.
Bibliographic references for the legumes of Equatorial Guinea have also been
checked (Aedo et al. 1999). Seventeen species are included based only on literature
records because their published distribution areas suggest that they might be present
also in Equatorial Guinea. They are quoted with the number in brackets. Fifteen
introduced species are presented in the checklist; these 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); this source also contains a gazetteer including
geographical coordinates.
The checklist is alphabetically ordered by genera and species, with accepted
names given in bold type. Generic circumscription is in accordance with Lock
(1989) and Lewis et al. (2005). We used monographs or regional works, such as
those by Soladoye (1985) or Breteler (1994), when they were available.
Under each accepted name a list of synonyms found in the literature concerning
Equatorial Guinea and used in previous reports is included; these are given in italics.
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). A description of geographical distribution
follows each species, including worldwide circumscription (e.g., palaeotropical) and its
distribution in Africa, which is in accordance with the geographical divisions used by
Polhill (1982: 2), including a list of those African countries where the species has been
previously reported (following ISO 3166-1 alfa-3 standard abbreviations: AGO
(Angola), BDI (Burundi), BEN (Benin), BFA (Burkina Faso), BWA (Botswana), CAF
(C. African Republic), CIV (Ivory Coast), CMR (Cameroon), CPV (Cape Verde
Islands), TCD (Chad), COD (R.D. Congo), COG (Congo), DJI (Djibouti), EGY
(Egypt), ERI (Eritrea), ETH (Ethiopia), GAB (Gabon), GHA (Ghana), GIN (Guinea),
GNB (Guinea Bissau), GMB (Gambia), KEN (Kenya), LBR (Liberia), MLI (Mali),
MWI (Malawi), NAM (Namibia), NER (Niger), NGA (Nigeria), RWA (Rwanda),
SDN (Sudan), SLE (Sierra Leone), SEN (Senegal), SOM (Somalia), ZAF (South
Africa), STP (S. Tomé & Príncipe), SWZ (Swaziland), TGO (Togo), TZA (Tanzania),
UGA (Uganda), ZMB (Zambia), and ZWE (Zimbabwe)).
Previous bibliographical records of each taxon are grouped under the three
regions mentioned above. When the taxon was reported under a different name
(synonym) it is indicated as, e.g., Hooker (1862: 8, as Cytisus mannii). In the case
of a misidentification, the author’s name is included following the cited species
(Padulosi and Ng 1993: 124, as V. luteola (Jacq.) Benth.). Doubtful and excluded
records are placed at the end of the checklist, followed by appendices, which
include an index to scientific names (Appendix 1) and a list of collections
(Appendix 2).

Doubtful and Excluded Records
Arachis hypogaea L.
Litoral: Reserva de Río Campo, Ayamiken, Obama 166 (BRLU); Bebai,
Campogebiet, Tessmann 631 (K).
Previously reported from Annobón (Exell 1963: 98, 1973a: 356), Bioko (Guinea
1946: 297; Exell 1973a: 356) and generally from Equatorial Guinea (Guinea 1946:
297). Originally from Asia, this species has been introduced throughout the world. In
Africa it has also been reported from many countries including the neighbouring CMR,
GAB and STP (Lock 1989: 110). Although the presence of this species is well
documented in Equatorial Guinea, we have not found any report of this species escaping
from cultivation. Hence, its presence as naturalized in the country seems unlikely.
Crotalaria lanceolata E. Mey.
Previously reported from Bioko (Guinea 1946: 296; Exell 1973a: 357) and
generally from Equatorial Guinea (Guinea 1946: 296). We have not found any
herbarium material of C. lanceolata from Equatorial Guinea in BM, BRLU, K,
LISU, MA and P. Distributed in subtropical Africa, this species has been reported
from ETH, KEN, MWI, MOZ, SDN, ZAF, SWZ, TZA, UGA, ZMB and ZWE
(Lock 1989: 186). The distribution range of this species suggests it occurs in drier
zones than Equatorial Guinea. Hence, its presence in the country seems unlikely.
Dalbergia montana L. f.
Previously reported from Río Muni (Guinea 1946: 141). We have not found any
reference to this species name in literature, and neither in the International Plant
Name Index (www.ipni.org). We also have not found any herbarium material
labelled as D. montana from Equatorial Guinea in BM, BRLU, K, LISC, LISU and
MA, supporting this record. This could be a misprint by Guinea (1946) and we
include it under the excluded records.

M. de la Estrella et al.
Dalbergia tessmannii Harms, nom. nud.
This name was published by Harms (1915a: 630) without any description:
“TESSMANN fand die eigentümliche Art in Spanisch Guinea (D. tessmannii Harms
mscr.)”. Moreover, no precise locality or specimen was reported. Although Guinea
(1946: 298) included this name in his catalogue, we have not found any herbarium
material related to D. tessmannii in the herbaria checked. Thus, we treat D.
tessmannii Harms as an excluded name.
Statistical Summary
The total number of indigeneous and introduced taxa of Papilionoideae listed here
for Equatorial Guinea is 157. The species list is primarily based on herbarium
material, with the exception of 17 reports from literature, species whose distribution
ranges suggest they may occur in Equatorial Guinea.
Forty-eight taxa are recorded for the first time from the country; these reports are
mainly from Río Muni, which is the less explored territory (Aedo and Velayos
2001). This work represents an increase over 30% in the floristic knowledge of
Papilionoideae from the country, although many plants reported from Cameroon or
Gabon that may appear in Equatorial Guinea have yet to be found. The number of
collections available per species (Fig. 2) also supports the idea that future
explorations are needed to increase the floristic and taxonomic knowledge of the
Legumes in Equatorial Guinea as well as in West and Central Africa.
In the checklist, we included 15 species (9%) that may be naturalized in Equatorial
Guinea, which is near the 8% found in Caesalpinioideae (Estrella et al. 2006) and lower

than those figures found in the Mimosoideae (20.5%; Estrella et al. 2005). According
to Binggeli (1996), the Mimosoideae taxa are the most important group of invasive
woody plants in the world. The number of introduced species is higher in the islands
of Gulf of Guinea (Table 1), probably because they have been cultivated for a long
time. The highest number of introduced species found in S. Tomé could be explained
by its importance as a port during the slave trade (Paiva, pers. comm.), with the transit
of ships between continental Africa and the new world.
According to our previous works (Estrella et al. 2005, 2006; Estrella 2009), the total
number of Legumes species currently known from Equatorial Guinea is 322 distributed
in 129 genera (Table 2). What is most striking is the high number of Papilionoideae
taxa growing in Bioko. The high number of species found in Bioko and its low
endemic level has usually been explained by its continental influence (Exell 1973b: 7).
Pérez del Val (1993: 14) also reported that a continental bridge appeared in the last ice
age between Bioko and the Cameroon coast (lasting 30,000–40,000 years). In Bioko
we found the highest mountains of the country, such as the volcanic peaks of Basilé
(3,011 m), the Gran Caldera de Luba (2,261 m) or the peak Biaó (2,009 m) (Velayos et
al. 2008). These highlands are included in the Afromontane region, from which several
species of Papilinionoideae are endemic, such as Adenocarpus mannii or the Trifolium
species, which are the genera more common in temperate areas. These species could
not be found in Río Muni, where the highest mountains are Monte Mitra or Monte
Alén, which hardly reach 1,200 m (Velayos et al. 2008).
By contrast, in Río Muni the most important subfamily is the Caesalpinioideae
(Table 2), which is considered the most important group in low evergreen rainforests in
tropical Africa. Río Muni and Gabon are considered two of the best conserved territories
in West and Central Africa (Hamilton 1994; Wieringa 1999; Sosef et al. 2006).
The lower number of Legumes found in Annobón (17 km2) might be explained
by its oceanic isolation. From the 35 Legumes species reported from Annobón
