Article Abstract
Monodoreae (Annonaceae) is a tribe composed of 11 genera and 90 species restricted to the tropical African rain forests. All the genera are taxonomically well circumscribed except the species rich genera and which lack a recent taxonomic revision. Here, we used a robust phylogenomic approach, including all the 90 currently accepted species, with several specimens per species, and based on more than 300 Annonaceae-specific nuclear genes, to infer the phylogenetic tree of the Monodoreae and test the limits between the genera and species. We recover all the genera as monophyletic, except the genus for which the species falls outside this clade. We thus reinstate the monotypic genus for its single species . We also erect a new tribe, Ophrypetaleae , to accommodate the genera and , as we recover them excluded from the Monodoreae tribe with good support. Below the genus level, the genera , , , and show weakly supported nodes and phylogenetic conflicts, suggesting that population level processes of evolution might occur in these clades. Our results also support, at the molecular level, the description of several new species of and , as well as several new synonymies. Finally, we present a taxonomic revision of the genera , and , which contain one, 18 and 17 species respectively. We provide a key to the 11 genera of the Monodoraeae and describe four new species to science: Dagallier & Couvreur, , Robson ex Dagallier & Couvreur, , Dagallier & Couvreur, and Dagallier & Couvreur, , and provide provisional descriptions of three putatively new species. We also present lectotypifications and nomenclatural changes implying synonymies and new combinations ( (Le Thomas) Dagallier & Couvreur, ., Uvariodendronfuscumvar.magnificum (Verdc.) Dagallier & Couvreur, , Uvariopsiscongensisvar.angustifolia Dagallier & Couvreur, , Uvariopsisguineensisvar.globiflora (Keay) Dagallier & Couvreur, , and Uvariopsissolheidiivar.letestui (Pellegr.) Dagallier & Couvreur, ).

Article Synopsis
- African tropical rain forests (TRFs) evolved significantly during the Cenozoic due to climatic and geological changes, leading to fragmentation during drier periods and influencing local extinctions.
- Researchers reconstructed a phylogenetic tree of the Monodoreae clade (90 tree species in Annonaceae) using extensive genetic data to assess the impact of these changes on plant diversification.
- The study found that Monodoreae originated in East Africa about 25 million years ago, with speciation rates influenced by elevation changes, highlighting East Africa as a crucial center for plant diversity in the region amid historical climate shifts.

The Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Republic of Guinea (CVPRG) is a specimen-based, expert-validated knowledge product, which provides a concise synthesis and overview of current knowledge on 3901 vascular plant species documented from Guinea (Conakry), West Africa, including their accepted names and synonyms, as well as their distribution and status within Guinea (indigenous or introduced, endemic or not). The CVPRG is generated automatically from the Guinea Collections Database and the Guinea Names Backbone Database, both developed and maintained at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in collaboration with the staff of the National Herbarium of Guinea. A total of 3505 indigenous vascular plant species are reported of which 3328 are flowering plants (angiosperms); this represents a 26% increase in known indigenous angiosperms since the last floristic overview.

Annonaceae is a major pantropical family with 113 genera and about 2550 species. Cameroon is one of the most biodiverse countries in Africa but its flora remains incompletely known. In this volume of the Flora of Cameroon, we describe 166 native taxa representing 163 species in 28 native genera within the family Annonaceae.

Estimating time-dependent rates of speciation and extinction from dated phylogenetic trees of extant species (timetrees), and determining how and why they vary, is key to understanding how ecological and evolutionary processes shape biodiversity. Due to an increasing availability of phylogenetic trees, a growing number of process-based methods relying on the birth-death model have been developed in the last decade to address a variety of questions in macroevolution. However, this methodological progress has regularly been criticized such that one may wonder how reliable the estimations of speciation and extinction rates are.
