Three points are studied on some species of Marantaceae in Zaire, especially in Botsima region at North-East of Salonga National Park: the climbing system of some species, the leave reactions to daylight of four species and the importance of some Marantaceae in the rural economy. The results show that the climbing species of Marantaceae use a system that is nearly like that of other climbing plants but just some differences are listed. Concerning the reaction to daylight, it shows that there are differences between climbing and other species. Many uses of plant parts have been observed: leaves are used in house roof covering and for packing food; the fruits and young leaves are eaten. Sometimes these materials are sold to town people.
