1. Aframomum K.Schum. (Schumann 1904: 201)
Notes.
Champluvier (1988) lists three species for Rwanda, of which only Aframomum angustifolium is correctly identified. The specimens assigned to Aframomum mildbraedii Loes. are probably Aframomum spiroligulatum A.D.Poulsen & Lock ( Poulsen and Lock 1997: 608), but we could not retrieve any of the cited specimens. The specimen Bouxin 1146, identified as Aframomum zambesiacum (Baker) K.Schum. ( Schumann 1904: 206) represents the recently described Aframomum wuerthii Dhetchuvi & Eb.Fisch. ( Dhetchuvi and Fischer 2006: 241). The highest diversity of Aframomum in Rwanda is found in Nyungwe National Park where numerous endemic species occur (e.g. Impatiens nyungwensis Eb.Fisch., Dhetchuvi & Ntaganda; Fischer et al. 2003: 91).
