Dear authors, I ask you to carefully consider the comments of the two reviewers.
[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review and editorial comments are addressed in a response letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate. #]
The manuscript is well written and presents a new species of Annonaceae. The new Uvariopsis dicaprio has already a nomenclatural issue, the name Uvariopsis ebo was invalidly published as a preprint by the same authors of this manuscript. I suggest that this information is included in the section “notes”, since it is an important information about the taxonomy of this new species.
The authors inferred the extent of occupancy and the area of occurrence but forgot to indicate the method it was inferred. I suggest including it in the section “Material and methods”.
The description of the new species Uvariopsis dicaprio is relevant for the conservation of the Ebo forest and for the scientific community.
No additional comments.
