Abstract
Three species of Craterispermum are described from Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Detailed descriptions and distribution maps are provided for each species, their conservation status is assessed and their taxonomic affinities are discussed. An identification key for the Craterispermum species present in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon is given.
Highlights
The genus Craterispermum (Rubiaceae) is distributed in tropical Africa, Madagascar and the Seychelles (Robbrecht 1988)
Bremer & Eriksson (2009) maintained the tribal status of Craterisper mum and stated that Craterispermeae, Gaertnereae Bremek. ex Darwin, Morindeae, Psychotrieae Cham. & Schltdl. and Schradereae belong to the Psychotrieae alliance
The present paper describes three species from Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, C. deblockianum, C. rumpianum and C. sonkeanum
