:Protologue: Syst. Geogr. Pl. 77: 95 (2007).
''Annickia'' is a small genus of 8 species nearly confined to West and Central Africa, but with one species endemic to north-eastern Tanzania. ''Annickia'' is characterized by having only 3 petals, which are opposite the sepals. The relationship with other genera in the family ''Annonaceae'' is still unclear.
=== ''Annickia chlorantha'' ===''[[Annickia chlorantha]]'' (Oliv.) Setten & Maas closely resembles ''Annickia affinis'' and the latter was considered for a long time a synonym of the first. As a result, much of the extensive literature published under the name ''Enantia chlorantha'' may refer to either of the two species. This is also the case for much of the information in this review, for which the name ''Annickia affinis'' has been chosen because ''Annickia chlorantha'' is the more rare species with a smaller area of distribution (southern Nigeria and western Cameroon). Only in Nigeria ''Annickia chlorantha'' seems to be more common than ''Annickia affinis''. ''Annickia chlorantha'' differs in its usually hairy upper side of the midrib, its lower leaf surface with many small 2–3-fid hairs, and its carpels with longer hairs.
