Notes. – This species is found in Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, continental Equatorial Guinea, and Democratic Republic of Congo ( VERDCOURT, 1977). RAZAFIMANDIMBISON et al. (2014) cited the type material of Psychotria domatiicola as two specimens deposited at BR, one the holotype and the other an isotype. However these two specimens were not individually designated or identified as to their type status, there or apparently by any previous author. Possibly these sheets were both considered to comprise a holotype with multiple sheets (e.g., VERDCOURT, 1977: 810). However these two sheets are basically duplicates and their status is not clear, so we here lectotypify this name. The specimen designated as the lectotype has complete label data and and several mature flowers, while the isolectotype has incomplete label data and flowers that are all in bud.
