Résumé : Madagascar, the “red Island”, hosts a distinctive and highly diverse flora estimated
to comprise about 14,000 species of vascular plants, about 83 % of which are endemic.
Endemism is also significant among genera, and the island also has 5 endemic families
of angiosperms. This exceptional diversity results mainly from the wide array of eco-geographic
conditions reflecting the island's range of substrates, elevations, and bioclimates.The
estimated number of species in the Malagasy flora is increasing year after year, thanks
to ongoing collecting efforts in the field and research leading to the description
of new species. Taxonomic treatments like those presented here provide a significant
contribution to our understand of Madagascar immense plant diversity and document
the need for its urgent and effective conservation. The present volume includes taxonomic
revisions of 3 groups of Angiosperms. Within the order Boraginales, the circumscription
of families has been extensively. 5 of the 11 families currently recognized occur
on Madagascar, and are treated in the first part of the volume : Boraginaceae, Coldeniaceae,
Cordiaceae, Ehretiaceae, and Heliotropiaceae. Significant changes have also impacted
the classification of the family Olacaceae since it was first treated in “Flora of
Madagascar and the Comoro Islands” in 1955. The previously recognized order Olacales
has been merged into the Santalales, and Olacaceae were divided into 8 monophyletic
families, 3 of which occur on Madagascar and are treated in the second chapter. The
3rd contribution to this volume deals with Apiaceae, where only a few changes have
occurred. The treatment of the 15 genera present on Madagascar is complemented with
an overview of the cultivated members of the family present on the island. [source
