  abstract = {{R}aphia ({A}recaceae, {C}alamoideae) is the most diverse genus of {A}frican palms with around 20 species. {T}wo new species from {C}ameroon and {G}abon, {R}aphia gabonica {M}ogue, {S}onke & {C}ouvreur, sp. nov. and {R}aphia zamiana {M}ogue, {S}onke & {C}ouvreur, sp. nov. are described and illustrated. {T}heir affinities are discussed and the conservation status of each species is assessed. {F}or both species, distribution maps are provided. {R}aphia gabonica is restricted to two small populations from central {G}abon, where it occurs on hillsides on tierra firme soil, and close to small streams. {I}ts preliminary {IUCN} status is {E}ndangered, being amongst the five most threatened palm species in {A}frica. {R}aphia gabonica potentially belongs to the moniliform section. {R}aphia zamiana is largely distributed from south {C}ameroon to south {G}abon and is very common. {I}t is also a multi-used palm, from which wine, grubs and construction material are extracted and sold. {I}t generally occurs in large stands in a wide range of ecosystems such as swamps, coastal forests on partially inundated sandy soils and inundated savannahs. {I}ts large stature, hard to access habitat (swamps) and abundant presence might have discouraged botanists to collect it until now. {R}aphia zamiana belongs to the taxonomically complex raphiate section.},
