| Abstract: | The Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania enclose high levels of plant and animal diversity with many yet to be described species. Here we describe a new species of the pan-tropical plant family <I>Annonaceae</I> named <I>Uvariopsis lovettiana</I>. It closely resembles another Eastern Arc endemic species, <I>U. bisexualis</I>, and its possible relationships with this species are discussed. A description with illustrations is presented as well as a suggestion for the IUCN conservation status of this new taxon. |
