Uvariopsis congolana is a tree or shrub of the custard apple family (Annonaceae) from the wet forests of Central Africa, where it grows in the Congo basin region. It is a wild forest species with no established horticultural cultivation, so practical care is not well documented.
Uvariopsis congolana is a species of plant in the Annonaceae family. It is native to
Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo. Émile De Wildeman, the botanist who first formally described the species using the basionym Thonnera congolana, named it after the Belgian Congo now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the specimens he examined were collected near Makanza (then called Bangala) and Yambuya.
Bioactive compounds extracted from its tissues, have been reported to have antiplasmodial activity in laboratory tests using cultured Plasmodium falciparum.
