Uvariopsis zenkeri Engl. is a species of flowering shrub in the family Annonaceae[3] endemic to Cameroon and the Central African Republic.[4]
Description
U. zenkeri is a shrub of 1–4 m high[4] and bears its monoecious inflorescences on the old wood of both its branches and its trunk.[3] Its petals are joined at the base of the flower.[3]
Etymology
The specific epithet zenkeri honours the German botanist Georg August Zenker, who discovered the first specimen at Bipindi in the Cameroons in 1896.[5]
Distribution
This species is found in shadow on laterite at an altitude of 120 m in Cameroon, and in the fringing forest of the rain-forest in the Central African Republic.[4] IUCN, however, lists this species as endemic to Cameroon.[1]
Taxonomy
This plant was first described by Engler in 1899,[6][7] and is the type species of Uvariopsis.[8]
