Notes:
This distinctive species is characterized by its rather robust habit, stipules with truncate sheaths and acute lobes, narrowly pyramidal to cylindrical inflorescences with numerous short secondary axes and the axes and flowers very closely and densely set, and well developed calyx limbs. In general this species is unusual, though it is somewhat similar to Psychotria holtonii. This species was classified by Taylor (1997) in Palicourea subg. Montanae sect. Cephaeloides ser. 11, but later (Taylor, 2017) re-classified in Palicourea sect. Chocoanae.
