Identification Keys to the Woody Lianas of Apocynaceae from the Sangha Trinational, Central Africa

A comprehensive identification guide to the woody lianas of Apocynaceae, encompassing 16 genera and 46 species from the Sangha Trinational in Central Africa, has been developed. This guide provides vegetative keys, genus and species descriptions, along with illustrations of key diagnostic characters, offering a critical tool for botanists and researchers studying this ecologically significant family. The study aims to facilitate accurate identification and classification, supporting conservation efforts and biodiversity research in the region.
