Abstract
Two new species of Keetia are described from recent botanical collections for conservation management made in surviving submontane forest areas of the sandstone plateau areas of the Republic of Guinea. Keetia kounounkan Cheek & Simbiano is a shrub of the Kounounkan Plateau towards the border of Sierra Leone, so far with a single location in gallery forest. K. tinka Cheek & Simbiano is an evergreen rainforest climber of the main part of the Fouta Djalon Highlands with two locations both in degraded forest. Both species are described, illustrated and provisionally assessed for their conservation status, the first as Critically Endangered, the second as Endangered.
