The Afromontane regions are subregions of the Afrotropical realm, one of the Earth's eight biogeographic realms, covering the plant and animal species found in the mountains of Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula. The Afromontane regions of Africa are discontinuous, separated from each other by lower-lying areas, and are sometimes referred to as the Afromontane archipelago, as their distribution is analogous to a series of sky islands.

The Association pour l’Etude Taxonomique de la Flore d’Afrique Tropicale (AETFAT) is a scientific association for the study of the flora of Tropical Africa. Other names for the organization are the Association for the Taxonomic Study of the Flora of Tropical Africa and Verband für die Taxonomische Untersuchung der Flora des Tropischen Afrikas. The association was planned by Edgar Milne-Redhead, Arthur Wallis Exell, and Jean Joseph Gustave Léonard in 1949 and established at the Université libre de Bruxelles in 1951. A meeting, called a Congress, is held every three years, the latest one occurring in June and July 2022 in Livingstone, Zambia.
