(holotype: B [B 100153102]) .</p><p>Distribution and ecology.</p><p>U. leonensis is known from several locations roughly between the Danané area in western Côte d’Ivoire and Freetown in Sierra Leone (Fig. 3) between (100? -) 250–600 m altitude. This is an area with a high rainfall combined with a strong dry season. U. leonensis is found in forest borders and thickets, it seems to prefer rocky soils.</p><p>Lectotypifications.</p><p>The isotype of Unona ovata var. afzeliana and Uvaria leonensis in BM is selected here as lectotype for the two taxa to replace the destroyed holotype. This sheet was annotated as isotype of Unona ovata var. afzeliana by Keay and he explains that both names have the same type (Keay 1952).</p><p>Notes.</p><p>Uvaria nigrescens Engl. &amp; Diels was made synonym of U. chamae P. Beauv. by Keay (Keay 1952). He probably did not see a type specimen but made this decision on the basis of the description and illustration published by Engler and Diels (1901). The holotype of U. nigrescens in Berlin is almost identical to the type of U. leonensis and the name is here transferred to that species as a new synonym. The leaves, flowers and fruits of U. chamae are clearly larger than those of U. leonensis and its leaf base is usually rounded, not obtuse to cuneate. Both U. nigrescens and U. leonensis are based on Afzelius specimens from Sierra Leone, but the first on a fruiting specimen and the second on a flowering specimen.</p><p>Selection of specimens seen.</p><p>Côte d’Ivoire • Sommet du Mont Goula, près Danané, 10 Apr 1909, fr., Chevalier 21210 (BR, P) ; • 2 km E of Danané, 6 Mar 1959, fl., Leeuwenberg 2994 (BR, K, MO image, WAG) .</p><p>Guinea • Mont Djiba, 28 Jul 1949, fr., Adam 5850 (MO image, P) ; • Forêt Classée de Mt Yonon, 10 May 2011, fl., fr., Jongkind 10707 (BR, G, K, MA, MO, P, WAG) ; • West of the Nimba mountains, 3 Jul 2012, fl., fr., Jongkind 11372 (K, MO, P, WAG) .</p><p>Liberia • near Soplima, 1 Nov 1947, fr., Baldwin 10053 (K, MO image) ; • Kpelle Forest, south-east of Gainkpa, 18 Dec 2010, ster., Jongkind 10249 (WAG) .</p><p>Sierra Leone • Sula Mountains, Tonkolili River near former village Farangbaya, 29 Jul 2013, fr., Momoh 17 (BR, MO image, WAG) ; • Yiben Dam area, Seli River, 4 Aug 2016, fr., Momoh 140 (WAG) ; • on rocks near top of Sugar Loaf, 26 Apr 1892, fl., Scott Elliot 5774 (K) ; • Rowala, 23 Jul 1914, fr., NW Thomas 1056 (K) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/BE338DCE81FC58F19A7BE976F821102D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Both areas have more or less the same kind of vegetation and climate. U. ovata grows in forest borders and thickets between 10–270 m above sea level.</p><p>There are two recent collections from this species from disturbed vegetation at the north end of São Tomé, both from almost the same location: Lachenaud et al. 2762 in flower (photos seen) and Eduardo et all. 94 in fruit (COI image). An older specimen, from March 1968, is cited in a checklist of the island (Figueiredo et al. 2011). No older collections from São Tomé are known. There is a distance of more than 800 km between this location and the population on the mainland. More research is needed to confirm that it is not a relatively recent introduction.</p><p>Lectotypifications.</p><p>Unona ovata and Uvaria cordata have the same type in Copenhagen (Keay 1952), one of the two sheets is selected here as lectotype. One of the two sheets mentioned by Keay as holotype of U. globosa in Kew is also selected here as lectotype of this name.</p><p>Selection of specimens seen.</p><p>Côte d’Ivoire • Réserve de Bouna, près de Kakpin, 20 Jun 1968, fr., Aké Assi 10297 (UCJ image) ; Abli-Aloukro, 2 May 1971, Audru 3927 (P, WAG) ; Koffie-Yaboué, 17 May 1971, fl., Audru 4172 (P) ; Lomo Nord, 10 Oct. 1971, fr., Audru 4353 (P) ; Lamto area, 12 Nov 1982, fl., Berg &amp; Wiebes 1442 (WAG) ; Orumbo Boka, 12 Jun 1968, fl., fr., Bokdam 2779 (BR, MO image, WAG) ; Assakra, 3 Oct 1956, Mangenot 4119 (UCJ image) ; Lamto, Chemin à Zagoussi, 12 Jun 1971, fl., fr., Miège s. n.

Young shoots with short brownish indumentum of, at least partly, stellate-fasciculate hairs, soon with many small lenticels. Petiole 2–3 mm long, with short brown indumentum. Leaf blade elliptic, 4–6.5 × 1.8–2.8 cm, covered beneath with a dense layer of appressed, small, pale green hairs, mostly stellate-fasciculate, mixed with scattered larger (but still small) stellate-fasciculate hairs, above almost glabrous except for the midrib, dark green, base rounded, apex acuminate; midrib impressed above; 7–9 pairs of secondary veins; tertiary venation reticulate. Monocarps stipitate, stipes slightly excentric, 10–13 mm long, 3–4 mm in diameter; monocarps c. 15, subglobose, with only a faint ridge along one side, 2.2–2.5 × 1.9–2.1 cm, brown, with dense short, mostly stellate-fasciculate, erect hairs, with 5–7 seeds in two rows. Seeds 14–16 × 8–10 × 5–6 mm, roughly triangular in cross-section, smooth, endosperm ruminate.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The new species is named after the village near the type location.</p><p>Distribution and ecology.</p><p>Only known from the type location in high forest in Liberia (Fig. 3).</p><p>Conservation status.</p><p>The only specimen of U. tobliensis is collected in Liberia, most likely along the c. 8 km long road between Tobli and the border with Côte d’Ivoire. There are still large patches of forest along this road but most of the forest is converted to farmland. There is no protected forest anywhere nearby. Following the Guidelines for Using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2024) it is very hard to assess this species as anything else other than Critically Endangered (CR, according to criterion B). The EOO cannot be calculated and the AOO is 4 km 2.</p><p>Note.</p><p>The location on the herbarium sheet, “ along the road from Tapita to Chien, 13 miles NE of Tobli ”, can’t be correct. The main road from Tapita, where Jansen started, to Chien (Zwedru) goes roughly north-west to south-east, never to the north-east. The road that branches from the Tapita-Zwedru road at Tobli and that goes north-east is the main road to Côte d’Ivoire. However, long before you have travelled 13 miles (c. 21 km) on this almost straight road you reach the Ivorian border. The collecting location of the type is most likely somewhere along this c. 8 km long road between Tobli and the Ivorian border. In the field notebook of JWA Jansen the collecting location for that day is just described as “ Woodcuttlery of Mr Charmois ” but that could not be located anymore.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E77451A6799F5CC595485CC5D58E3A21	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
