[...description...]
Habitat copiose in uliginosis umbrosis circa vicum Roberti in Martinica. Decembri inveni flores & una fructus maturos numerosissimos ferentem." [Jacquin, Select. Stirp. Amer. Hist.
66. 1763].
D'après C.M. Taylor (2014 in Tropicos): "The type element of this name was also one of two elements cited for
Rondeletia repens L. (1759), so for some time
Psychotria herbacea was
considered an illegitimate later homonym; however subsequently
Rondeletia repens was lectotypified on the other element (Howard, 1989),
so these are no longer nomenclaturally equivalent. The type of
Psychotria herbacea has been incorrectly cited by several authors as
Jacquin s.n. from Martinique and/or a figure based on specimen from
Martinique."
