Uvariopsis guineensis is a species of plant in the custard apple family Annonaceae. It is native to Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.[2] Ronald William John Keay, the botanist who first formally described the species, named it after Guinea, then called French Guinea, where the specimens he examined were collected near a locality he identifies as Fassakoidou.[3]
