RAZAFIMANDIMBISON et al. (2014)
cited the type material of
Psychotria domatiicola
as
two specimens
deposited at BR, one the
holotype
and the other an isotype. However these
two specimens
were not individually designated or identified as to their type status, there or apparently by any previous author. Possibly these sheets were both considered to comprise a
holotype
with multiple sheets (e.g.,
VERDCOURT, 1977: 810
). However these two sheets are basically duplicates and their status is not clear, so we here lectotypify this name. The specimen designated as the
lectotype
has complete label data and and several mature flowers, while the isolectotype has incomplete label data and flowers that are all in bud.
