This revision of the arrow-poison genus Acokanthera G..Don includes a discussion on its lectotypification and an illustrated account of morphological variation within the genus. The five species recognised are A. schimperi (A. DC.) Schweinf., A. oppositifolia (Lam.) Codd, A. laevigata Kupicha sp. nov., A. rotundata (Codd) Kupicha stat. nov. and A. oblongifolia (Hochst.) Codd; they are keyed out, described and mapped.
