Phylogenetic, ecological and sensory characterization of <i>Coffea dactylifera</i> , a wild coffee from the Democratic Republic of Congo
C. dactylifera may contribute to climate-resilient coffee breeding. Its genetic proximity to cultivated species, climate niche, compact growth form and promising sensory profile highlight its relevance for conservation and potential use in breeding.
