ABSTRACT: Greenwayodendron (Annonaceae) is a tropical African genus of trees occurring mainly in rain forests.

Genetic data, using chloroplast haplotypes and nuclear microsatellites as well as morphometric analyses, provided important information on the delineation of species. Greenwayodendron now contains six species, including two new species (Greenwayodendronglabrum Lissambou, Hardy & Couvreur, sp. nov. and Greenwayodendronlittorale Lissambou, Dauby & Couvreur, sp. nov.). Greenwayodendronsuaveolensvar.gabonica and Greenwayodendronsuaveolenssubsp.usambaricum are recognised as
