Let F(k; n) be the space of codimension-one holomorphic foliations of degre
e k on CP(n). In this paper we prove that, if n greater than or equal to 3,
then the set of foliations F of CP(n), which can be written as F = F* (G),
where G is a foliation of degree d in CP(2) and F: CP(n) --> CF(2) is a ge
neric rational map of degree nu, is an irreducible component of the space F
((d + 2)nu - 2; n).
