Psychotria repens Linnaeus, Flora Jamaicensis: 14. 1759.

"Habitat [in Jamaica.]"

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 10: 41, t. 21. 1690.

Current name: Geophila repens (L.) I.M. Johnst. ( Rubiaceae).

Note: This and the slightly earlier Rondeletia repens L. (1759) share some original elements in common, which has led some authors (e.g. Steyermark in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 23: 395. 1972) to treat P. repens as a new combination. However, there are some discrepancies between the two and they appear to be best treated as independent names.
