Colletoecema magna, a new species from the Ngovayang Massif (southern Cameroon) is described and illustrated. A comparative morphological study illustrates the similar placentation and fruit anatomy of the novelty and Colletoecema dewevrei, the only other species of the genus. Colletoecema magna essentially differs from C. dewevrei by its sessile flowers and fruits, the corolla tube that is densely hairy above the insertion point of the stamens and the anthers that are included. Further characters that separate the novelty are its larger leaves, more condensed inflorescences, and larger fruits. Its position within Colletoecema is corroborated by atpB-rbcL and rbcL chloroplast sequences. The relationships among the basal lineages of the subfamily Rubioideae, to which Colletoecema belongs, are briefly addressed. Based on Our present knowledge, a paleotropical or tropical African origin of the Rubioideae is hypothesized.

This first checklist of the vascular plants of Pongara National Park in coastal Gabon comprises 385 taxa. The checklist is based on a botanical inventory carried out in 2006-2007 and on existing collections from the Park. Information on ecology and chorology is given for each species. Ninety-five species were collected in the littoral savannah, half of which belonged to Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Orchidaceae, and 356 species in the littoral forest, mainly Rubiaceae (33), Orchidaceae (15) and Euphorbiaceae (12). The savannah has a much higher percentage of widespread species than the forest. Eighty-three species are endemic to Lower Guinea, nine of which are endemic or near endemic to Gabon.
