Abstract
A new species is described in Tetrapetalum, a small genus of which two species have been known. Although Van Heusden (1992) stated that Tetr apetalum differs from Cyathostemma only in its dimerous flowers, Tetra petalum seems to be more closely related with Uvaria than with Cyathos temma, because of spreading petals and unlobed stigmas. A key to the t hree species of Tetrapetalum is provided here.
