Welcome to The Annonaceae of Africa
We provide taxonomic, distribution and photographic information about the custerd-apple family (Annonaceae) from Africa. An overview of all African Annonaceae genera is given, and where possible, detailed information about species. The mission of the website is to share and disseminate information about African Annonaceae genera and species.

This week we saw two new genera described or resurected, both from South East Asia. These genera have been segregated from the large and polypheletic genus Polyalthia (Chatrou et al 2012). So the taxonomy of the complicated genus is advancing which is great for Annonaceae systematics.
Check out the bibliography page for the references. The Phytotaxa article about Hubera (Chaowasku et al 2012) is open access.

I have just created a fake taxon name "indet". This allows people to upload their annon photos even though they might not have a det yet. This will then be regularly visited and dets provided if possible. Once a det is done, it will be reassigned to its correct species/genus name.
To upload your best photos (please make a selection (1 to 2 for flowers, 1-2 for fruits, 1-2 of full tree/liana)):
pass the move over the "image" icon on the left side bar under Content.
Select what you want to do: upload a single image or upload several images. -

In February 2012 I went on a field trip to Cameroon. The goal of this trip was to collect species of rattan palms for my master degree student. However, along the way I also made some nice collections of Annonaceae which I explain here.
