Notes.
– This name was accepted and said to be a species occurring from Borneo to
Java
and
Sumatra
by
GOVAERTS et al. (2015)
. However this name was lectotypified and then placed in synonymy with another poorly known species,
Psychotria montana
Blume
(discussed below), by
SOHMER (1988)
. The treatment of this name by BEAMAN & ANDERSON (2004), who were followed by
GOVAERTS et al. (2015)
, is confused because they simultaneously accepted the name
P. expansa
Blume
and placed a combination based on this name,
Chassalia expansa
(Blume) Miq.
, in synonymy with a different species,
P. malayana
Jack. The
status of
P. expansa
cannot be clarified until these various species are better understood.
