Abstract
A formal treatment of two taxonomic novelties in Coffea from southern Cameroon is given. In their habit the two species resemble the widespr ead C. brevipes in having mostly uniflorous inflorescences. The new sp ecies C. leonimontana is striking by its spathulate-acuminate leaf-tip s. C. heterocalyx (C. brevipes var. heterocalyx, nomen) is unique in C offea as the flowers possess a distinct calyx with unequal lobes which apparently develop postflorally.
