Three species were accepted based only on literature records, their distribution área strongly suggests their presence in Equatorial Guinea. Six species are known from Annobón, 23 from Bioko and 49 from Río Muni. Best-represented genera are Memecylon (10), Calvoa (10) and Tristemma (7). Twenty-six taxa are newly recorded for the country.
