  abstract = {{D}etermining where species diversify (cradles) and persist (museums) over evolutionary time is fundamental to understanding the distribution of biodiversity and for conservation prioritization. {H}ere, we identify cradles and museums of angiosperm generic diversity across tropical {A}frica, one of the most biodiverse regions on {E}arth. {R}egions containing nonrandom concentrations of young (neo-) and old (paleo-) endemic taxa were identified using distribution data of 1719 genera combined with a newly generated time-calibrated mega-phylogenetic tree. {W}e then compared the identified regions with the current network of {A}frican protected areas ({PA}s). {A}t the generic level, phylogenetic diversity and endemism are mainly concentrated in the biogeographically complex region of {E}astern {A}frica. {W}e show that mountainous areas are centres of both neo- and paleo-endemism. {B}y contrast, the {G}uineo-{C}ongolian lowland rain forest region is characterized by widespread and old lineages. {W}e found that the overlap between centres of phylogenetic endemism and {PA}s is high (> 85%). {W}e show the vital role played by mountains acting simultaneously as cradles and museums of tropical {A}frican plant biodiversity. {B}y contrast, lowland rainforests act mainly as museums for generic diversity. {O}ur study shows that incorporating large-scale taxonomically verified distribution datasets and mega-phylogenies lead to an improved understanding of tropical plant biodiversity evolution.},
