Psychotria repensLinnaeus, Flora Jamaicensis: 14. 1759.
"Habitat [in Jamaica.]"
Type not designated.
Original material: [icon] in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 10: 41, t. 21. 1690.
Note:This and the slightly earlier Rondeletia repensL. (1759)share some original elements in common, which has led some authors (e.g. Steyermark in Mem. New York Bot. Gard.23: 395. 1972) to treat P. repensas a new combination. However, there are some discrepancies between the two and they appear to be best treated as independent names.
