Uvariopsis zenkeri

Uvariopsis zenkeri is a shrub of 1–4 m high and bears its monoecious inflorescences on the old wood of both its branches and its trunk. Its petals are joined at the base of the flower.

The specific epithet zenkeri honours the German botanist Georg August Zenker, who discovered the first specimen at Bipindi in the Cameroons in 1896.[http://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.specimen.p00362604 Global Plants, JSTOR]

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. IUCN, however, lists this species as endemic to Cameroon.

This plant was first described by Engler in 1899, and is the type species of Uvariopsis.
