Comparative Study of the Colonizing Flora of the Thermal Water Neighborhood in the Vicinity of the Bukavu City (South Kivu)

Abstract
This study contributes to the knowledge of the diversity of flora and the updating of plant data from thermal water sites in
eight sites (Burhinzi, Luhwindja, Kankulé, Kakonde, Cimenki, Cizirhi, Buhandahanda, Nyangezi) located in the vicinity of
Bukavu city. The phytosociological method was used in a 10 m sampling area on either side of the site, in which two 4 m2
surveys were conducted. The sampling method consisted of a quantitative inventory to identify the various specific
abundances. The results show an inventory of the plant species present in the thermal sites grouped into 33 families of 83
genres and 101 species of which the families of Asteraceae, Poaceaeand Fabaceae are the most abundant. Herbs dominate
trees and most of the flora studied is found in therophytes. Comparison of the specific richness between the different sites
based on the ANOVA test shows that there is no significant difference between the sites (P > 0, 001; F=1,881).
