Abstract

A new species of Diospyros, D. uzungwaensis Frimodt-Moller & Ndangalasi, is described from the Udzungwa Scarp Forest Reserve in Tanzania. The new species appears to belong to sect. Brevituba F. White and to be closest to D. soubreana F. White from the Guineo-Congolian forest of West Africa. It is suggested that this resemblance is yet another example of the affinity between the montane forest flora of the Eastern Arc Mountains in East Africa and the West African forest flora.
