Four new species of Sabicea (Rubiaceae) from tropical Africa are described and illustrated: S. desseinii from Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, S. ezangae from Gabon, S. jongkindii from Liberia and Ghana, and S. uniflora from Gabon. Their affinities are discussed, and the conservation status of each species is assessed. Sabicea speciosissima K.Schum. is excluded from the genus and synonymised with Rothmannia octomera (Hook.) Fagerl. Three other species are sunk into synonymy:  Sabicea gigantea Wernham with S. dewevrei De Wild., S. arachnoidea Hutch. & Dalziel with S. discolor Stapf, and S. neglecta Hepper with S. speciosa K.Schum.
