A little-studied Central African wild species from Cameroon, Congo, Gabon and the Rwandan lake forests.
*Coffea brevipes* is a diploid wild species distributed across Central Africa: Cameroon, the Republic of Congo, DR Congo, Gabon and Rwanda. It is one of the less-studied members of the genus, known chiefly from herbarium collections and general Central African floristic surveys rather than from any breeding or commercial program, and has no history of cultivation.
History
Described by William Philip Hiern in the 19th century. Known only from Central African forest collections.
