摘要
Background and aims The paleotropical genus Neuropeltis of the Convolvulaceae is imperfectly known. The present paper aims to revise the genus for the Upper Guinea area in West Africa. Methods Normal practices of herbarium taxonomy have been applied to study all herbarium material available. Key results Three species are found in Upper Guinea. Neuropeltis velutina is not present in this area and its specimens hitherto assigned to it are classified in a new species N. occidentalis. A key to and a synopsis of all African species is provided. The new species is illustrated and its distribution is mapped. Neuropeltis sanguinea from Angola (Cabinda) is newly synonymised under N velutina.
