Abstract
Since the publication of taxonomic revisions of Secamone in Africa (Goyder 1992), Madagascar (Klackenberg 1992a), Asia and Australia (Klackenberg 1992b), an additional species was described from Gabon (Li 1994). The new species, S. gabonensis, was based on a specimen collected by Georges Le Testu in 1927 housed in the herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden (Le Testu 6483, MO). I have examined a duplicate of this collection at the Natural History Museum in London (BM) and a photograph of the holotype on which Li has made a clear and detailed drawing of a dissected flower. S. gabonensis is conspecific with S. dewevrei De Wild. subsp. dewevrei, recorded from similar latitudes in Zaire, and is here reduced to synonymy.
