We describe two range-restricted new species to science from the genus (Balsaminaceae), both threatened, from lowland of the Cross-Sanaga Interval of western Cameroon. The first, appears to be restricted to an open seepage microhabitat on granitic inselbergs in the lowland-submontane forest zone of the Ebo Forest in Littoral Region and... -
