Abstract
A revision of the African genus Rhabdophyllum Tiegh. is presented, including
a key to the species and their distribution within Cameroon and Gabon. Th e
position of the genus within the family Ochnaceae as well as its distinction with
other genera of the subtribe Ouratinae is discussed. Th e view that the subtribe
holds four genera, Ouratea Aubl., Campylospermum Tiegh., Idertia Farron and
Rhabdophyllum Tiegh. is supported. A new species, R. crassipedicellatum Sosef,
is described. Th e formerly accepted species R. refractum (De Wild. & T.Durand)
Tiegh. is seen as being conspecifi c with R. affi ne (Hook.f.) Tiegh. Lectotypes
are designated wherever necessary and one neotype is proposed.
