Caixinhas, M.L. | Liberato, M.C.
In Lisbon there are several remarkable Green Areas, namely: Tropical Agricultural Museum-Garden (Jardim-Museu Agricola Tropical) and Cold Greenhouse of Lisbon (Estufa Fria de Lisboa). African plant collections are conserved in these places. Taxonomic studies have been undertaken on those species. The aim of this work is present those mentioned species, as well as their wild origin, some of their uses by man, the conservation status according to the IUCN categories of those threatened and their presence in respective area studied. These areas are privileged to be responsible for the ex situ biodiversity conservation. We believe these spaces show a great scientific and didactic interest, as well as for the conservation of germplasm of such African species
