Psychotria herbaceaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 245. 1762, nom. illeg.
"Habitat in Indiae utriusque umbrosis roridis." RCN: 1364.
Type not designated.
Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 231.3 ( LINN); [icon] in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 10: 41, t. 21. 1690.
Note:A later homonym of P. herbaceaJacq. (1760)and hence illegitimate. Although Verdcourt (in Polhill, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Rubiaceae1: 110. 1976) stated that the type was "probably"at LINN (No. 231.3), he did not formally designate it as the type.
