Le cafeiers spontanés de L'Afrique de l'Ouest
Coffea Linn., a paleotropical genus, includes in the world about fifty-four species which are ligneous plants, shrubs or lianas. The African continent, with thirty-two species, out numbers the other parts of the old world, and seems to be the home-land of this genus of Rubiaceae. The different species share out the forest mountain and rarely spread out, except Coffea eketensis Wernham. Western Africa includes seventeen species which are distributed from Guinea to Cameroons. Ivory Coast counts in its different forest types, eleven species of coffees, most often concentrated in rain semi-deciduous forest. They are found either separately or in little stands, as Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner. There is no wild coffees, either in tropical America or in Oceania
