Wild Flowering Plants
| Rubiaceae family Psychotria muscosa (Jacquin) Steyermark, Mem. New York Bot. Gard 23: 671. 1972. Bas.: Morinda muscosa Jacquin (1788). Lesser Antillean endemic. Quiet rare shrub of understory of upper level of semi-evergreen seasonal forest and lower level of lower montane rainforest. Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent. There is very similar species Psychotria urbaniana. There is a herbarium specimen labelled as such but I am not convinced it is. All the plants I have seen in the forest appear to be Psychotria muscosa. |
