JONGKIND, Carel. Novitates Gabonenses 87 - A new Urobotrya from Gabon. Bothalia (Online) [online]. 2018, vol.48, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 2311-9284. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/abc.v48i1.2275.
BACKGROUND: Previously unidentified herbarium material from tropical West and Central Africa was selected for renewed study. OBJECTIVES: To assess the possibility that this material included undescribed species. METHODS: Seeds were separated from dried or pickled fruits to compare the shape of the endocarp and surface patterning. RESULTS: Previously unidentified herbarium material from Gabon is recognised and illustrated as the new species Urobotrya gabonensis. CONCLUSIONS: This new species adds one more endemic species to the already rich flora of Gabon.
