Endemic to the

|
||
rapids on the
|
||
<normalizedToken originalValue="Ogooué">Ogooue</normalizedToken>
|
||
. In 2018, it was discovered on the Kongou falls, on the Ivindo river. In 2019, it was discovered on the
|

<normalizedToken originalValue="Touné">Toune</normalizedToken>
|
||
falls on the Ivindo river, less than 4 km upstream from the confluence with the

|

|
||
<normalizedToken originalValue="Booué">Booue</normalizedToken>

inventory at

||
<normalizedToken originalValue="Booué">Booue</normalizedToken>
|
||
rapids (west of the city) allowed for the rediscovery of this species at its type locality. Nevertheless, it seems very rare at this site, since only one of the 70 collections made at this site between 2019 and 2021 represents this species. Given the considerable size of the rapids area, which is not yet fully explored, it is possibly more abundant than suggested by our data. The type material collected in 1966 includes a lot of individuals, suggesting that the species was, at least then, abundant on site. A natural, partial replacement of this population by another species cannot be excluded.

The recent material collected at Kongou falls on the Ivindo river revealed the presence of few, small but conspicuous triangular to wart-like, patent stem scales, most of them with a distal black dot, mostly grouped below the inflorescences, and very scarce along the stem. Closer examination of the type collection revealed similar stem-scales that were overlooked by Cusset, who initially placed this species in subgenus

||
<taxonomicName class="Magnoliopsida" family="Podostemaceae" genus="Ledermanniella" higherTaxonomySource="CoL" kingdom="Plantae" lsidName="Ledermanniella" order="Malpighiales" pageId="0" pageNumber="59" phylum="Tracheophyta" rank="genus">Ledermanniella</taxonomicName>

rather than subgenus

. Because of the presence of clear stem-scales, we consider that this taxon belongs to the genus
|
||
<taxonomicName class="Magnoliopsida" family="Podostemaceae" genus="Inversodicraea" higherTaxonomySource="CoL" kingdom="Plantae" lsidName="Inversodicraea" order="Malpighiales" pageId="0" pageNumber="59" phylum="Tracheophyta" rank="genus">

. The recent collections from the Ivindo river show minor differences with the type collection, such as shorter and wider leaves and longer flowers and capsule stalks (up to 3 cm long vs up to 2 cm long), ca 60% of them bearing 3 stamens (vs 2 stamens), but they are otherwise very similar. We do not consider those differences as sufficient to distinguish another taxon.
