The Lomami River is a major tributary of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The river is approximately {{convert|1280|km|mi}} long.[1] It flows north, west of and parallel to the upper Congo. The Lomami rises in the south of the country, near Kamina and the Congo–Zambezi divide.[1] It flows north through Lubao, {{ill|Tshofa|fr}}, Kombe, Bolaiti, Opala, and Irema before joining the Congo at Isangi. Henry Morton Stanley reached the confluence of the two rivers on 6 Jan. 1877, "the affluent Lumami, which Livingstone calls 'Young's river,' entered the great stream, by a mouth 600 yards wide, between low banks densely covered with trees."[2]{{rp|Vol.Two,176}} In October 1889 M. Janssen, Governor-General of the Congo State, explored the Lomani river upstream from Isangi on the Ville de Bruxelles. After steaming for 116 hours he was stopped by rapids at a latitude of 4°27'2" S.[3] The river has lent its name to a number of biological species, including the monkey Cercopithecus lomamiensis and the flowering plant Pavetta lomamiensis. {{wide image|Lomami River at Katopa Camp, Democratic Republic of the Congo.JPG|1000px|alt=Lomami River at Katopa Camp, Democratic Republic of the Congo.}}References1. ^1 {{cite book |last= Bossche |first= J.P. vanden |author2=G.
