description This paper presents a critical nomenclatural review of Acalypha species of continental Africa and the islands of Cape Verde, Saint Helena, and São Tomé and Príncipe. It is based mainly on the study of type specimens and is the first step towards a comprehensive taxonomic monograph of the genus in Africa. In total, 275 names and designations related to Acalypha from continental Africa were compiled, and 70 native species are accepted. Lectotypes for 83 names are designated, and a new combination is proposed. Acalypha haplostyla, previously considered a synonym of A. petiolaris, is here treated as an accepted species.
