Abstract

Diospyros barteri was recorded for the first time from Dodja, a sacred forest in the Commune of Abomey-Calavi, Benin. We provide a detailed description, illustration, habitat, ecology, flowering period, and population size of this species. These occurrences fill a gap in the distribution of the species in the Dahomey-Gap territory. Our new records show the importance of botanical surveys in sacred forests which are hotspots of biodiversity in the country. However, sacred forests are unfortunately poorly maintained and managed and are difficult to access because they serve as central sites for ceremonies of local divinities in vodun celebrations.
Diospyros barteri Hiern(Ebenaceae):贝宁维管植物区系的新记录
Diospyros barteri 是首次在贝宁阿波美-卡拉维市的圣林 Dodja 被记录到。我们提供了该物种的详细描述、图解、栖息地、生态学、开花期和种群数量。这些发现填补了该物种在达荷美-加普地区分布的空白。我们的新记录显示了在圣林进行植物学调查的重要性,因为圣林是该国生物多样性的热点地区。然而,令人遗憾的是,圣林的维护和管理很差,而且很难进入,因为它们是当地神灵举行伏都庆祝仪式的中心地点。
