Description:
Afrothismia foertheriana, a new species of Burmanniaceae (tribe: Thismieae) from the peripheral zone of the Onge Forest Reserve in Cameroon\xe2\x80\x99s Southwest Province is described and illustrated. The papillose, multicellular floral trichomes, the tepal\xe2\x80\x99s erose margins, the small, zygomorphic perianth mouth and the dull purplish brown coloration give A. foertheriana a distinctive appearance within the genus. The species is here assessed as being critically endangered.
