Tousaintia congolensis Boutique.

Description.

Same as species.

A small genus of four species ( Luke and Deroin 2005) distributed in central and east Africa, one species occurs in Cameroon, not endemic.

Toussaintia is a genus of lianas or scandent shrubs, characterized by the presence of an androgynophore (elongated receptacle on which the stamens and carpels are inserted). All species are rare across their range.

Taxonomy.

There is no revision available for this genus yet, but Luke and Deroin (2005) provide a key to all four species.
