Notes. – WHISTLER (1986) reported this species from Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa, and circumscribed it to include Psychotria oncocarpa K. Schum. In contrast SMITH & DARWIN (1988) regarded these as two separate species, and considered Eumachia carnea to be restricted to Tonga; SMITH & DARWIN (1988) are followed here.
