ABSTRACT
Ethnobotanical surveys on edible fruits of the spontaneous flora of the Republic of Congo, have been
undertaken in the massif forests of Mayombeand Chaillu. For each species inventoried, are noted its
morphological type as well as its phytogeographical distribution. 95 species,
distributedin51generaand 28 families were inventoried. The families of Sapotaceae, Burseraceae,
Apocynaceae and Sapindaceae are the most dominant. The trees are the dominant types. According
to the phytogeographical distribution, the preponderance ofendemicfloralelement, and the presence
of two families and five endemic genera well incorporate these forests in the Center Guinean-
Congolese endemism. Berries and drupes are the types most appreciate fruits, while the fruit pulp
remains the most cosumed part.
Keywords: ethnobotanical surveys, spontaneous food fruit, Mayombe, Chaillu, Republic of Congo.
