Abstract
The genus Coleus is revised for DR. Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, based on herbarium taxonomy. Ninety-five taxa are reported (89 species, 1 subspecies, 5 varieties). Fifteen new species and one new variety are described (Coleusduvigneaudii, C.esculentusvar.kolweziensis, C.hildei, C.kaminaensis, C.kundelunguensis, C.linarioides, C.lisowskii, C.marunguensis, C.minusculus, C.mitwabaensis, C.mystax, C.pengbelensis, C.piscatorum, C.pseudoschizophyllus, C.ruziziensis and C.zigzag). Fourteen species are newly recorded in DR. Congo and two species are newly recorded in Burundi. Four new combinations are made (Coleusbetonicifoliusvar.kasomenensis, C.esculentusvar.densus, C.esculentusvar.primulinus and C.parvifolius). Ten names are lectotypified. One name is neotypified. Thirteen new synonyms are reported. Particular attention is paid to the Coleusbojeri complex. Three names are resurrected to accommodate the extensive variation patterns in Central Africa (C.chevalieri, C.collinus and C.heterotrichus); their distribution in Africa is outlined and the circumscription of C.bojeri is amended accordingly. Fifteen taxa are endemic to the study region. A determination key is provided.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
