Notes
:
This species is characterized by its obovate to elliptic leaves with domatia and the apex obtuse to usually shortly acuminate; its rather oblong, 2-denticulate stipules; its several-flowered pedunculate inflorescences; its rather small, subsessile flowers with yellow corollas; and its medium-sized red fruits. It is not well documented. This species is similar to Psychotria manampanihensis and Psychotria mandrarensis in general aspect and perhaps habitat. These are separated somewhat arbitrarily here based on stipule form, which is how Bremekamp distinguished them; Psychotria manampanihensis has entire stipules and Psychotria mandrarensis has stipules with well developed narrow lobes.
