is a species of flowering shrub in the family Annonaceae[3] endemic to Cameroon and the Central African Republic.

[4] Uvariopsis zenkeri is a shrub of 1–4 m high[4] and bears its monoecious inflorescences on the old wood of both its branches and its trunk.

[3] The specific epithet zenkeri honours the German botanist Georg August Zenker, who discovered the first specimen at Bipindi in the Cameroons in 1896.

[5] This species is found in shadow on laterite at an altitude of 120 m in Cameroon, and in the fringing forest of the rain-forest in the Central African Republic.

[1] This plant was first described by Engler in 1899,[6][7] and is the type species of Uvariopsis.
