Coffee lemblinii is an extinct relative of the coffee within the Rubiaceae family. It is only known by the holotype collected by French botanist Auguste Jean Baptiste Chevalier in January 1907 in the valley of the Agnéby river in Côte d'Ivoire and was not found during subsequent surveys. Coffea lemblinii was a much branched shrub which could reach a height of about 50 centimetres. The flowers were white, the small fruits spheroid. Its habitat were forests.
