Abstract:

A new species of Bertiera (Rubiaceae) from Cameroon and Gabon, Bertiera heterophylla Nguembou & Sonke, is described and illustrated. This new species belongs to the subgenus Bertiera and appears to be closely related to Bertiera bicarpellata. Bertiera heterophylla differs from B. bicarpellata in having lateral branches with terminal inflorescences while on the main stem, the inflorescences are axillary.
