Our studies on Rubiaceae began in early 1990 with the revision of the genus Oxyanthus (Rubiaceae - Gardenieae - Gardeniinae) in Central Africa in collaboration with the National Botanic Garden of Belgium. Over the years we have developed and strengthened our collaboration with this prestigious institution which has a long experience in research on African Rubiaceae. Our collaboration began with Elmar Robbrecht now retired. But this collaboration continued with other colleagues in the same institution with which we have done several joint publications.
