A new species of
Uvaria
(Annonaceae) from Liberia, only known from one fruiting collection, is described and illustrated.
Uvaria tobliensis

. differs from all other African
Uvaria
species by the combination of a relatively small leaf blade (4–6.5 × 1.8–2.8 cm) with a very dense indumentum on the lower surface, and relatively large subglobose monocarps (2.2–2.5 × 1.9–2.1 cm). The conservation status of the new species is assessed as CR following the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. The two subspecies of
Uvaria
