Sclerosperma mannii
Short or acaulescent, clustering palm; stem when present very short; leaves segmented, very large, ascending; leaflets 8-17 (-24), subopposite to alternate; fruits globose, 2.5-3 cm long and 2.2.-2.9 cm in diameter.
Sclerosperma mannii has a disjunct distribution with a population in Liberia and from southeast Nigeria southward to Congo and as far east as the border area of Congo and Rwanda. The species has been also reported on the island of Bioko (Fernando Pó) in Equatorial Guinea but no specimens have been apparently found in order to confirm its presence there. Its presence in Angola was indicated by Baker (2008).
This species grows in lowland evergreen forest, ranging from forest just behind the mangrove swamp forest, though seasonally flooded forest, to valley bottom forest at higher elevations, persisting in secondary growth; it is present from 0 to 1400 m.
