Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of the species of the
Euphorbiaceae family from Côte d'Ivoire. Specifically, this involves carrying out a floristic
analysis of Euphorbiaceae from Côte d'Ivoire, determining the species with special statuses of
the Euphorbiaceae family from Côte d'Ivoireand analyzing their potential distribution. The
endangered species database (Aké Assi, 1988) and the IUCN Red List (2019) were used to
identify species with special status. Quantum GIS software and the Maxent model were used for
the realization of the potential distribution maps. Four special status species have been listed:
Croton membranaceusMüll. Arg., Croton aubrevillei J. Léonard et Macaranga beillei Pan. And
Sapiumcaterinum J. Léonard. The potential distribution map of Sapiumcaterinum J. Léonard,
was not produced due to insufficient number of samples. Floristic analysis revealed that 75% of
species are microphanerophytes, 50% are endemic to the forest block west of Togo, including
Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Gambia and Senegal. |
