Exell, endemic to Annobón Island (Equatorial Guinea), is here lectotypified from Mildbraed´s original material found in the Herbarium Biozentrum Klein‐Flottbek of Hamburg (HBG). A detailed morphological description of the female characters (flower and fruit), before unknown, is provided, completing the earlier recollections with fruit material. A comparison of the main characters of the other three species of the African genus, along with a key, is provided.
