Abstract
A taxonomic revision of Schlechterella K. Schum. is hereby;presented. Two s pecies are recognised, S. africana (Schltr.) K. Schum. and S. abyssinica (C hiov.) Venter & R.L. Verh. The latter species is transferred from Raphionac me Harv. and Triodoglossum Bullock. Schlechterella is unique in the African Periplocoideae as its corona lobes are fused and its pollen is borne in po llinia instead of in single tetrads.
