Psychotria samoritourei

Species of liana

Psychotria samoritourei is a liana species belonging to the family Rubiaceae,[1][3] native to the forests of the Loma-Man highlands in Upper Guinea, West Africa.[1][2] It is the sixth known lianescent African species of its genus.[2] It is found in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.[1] It is also possible that the species is present in other, less thoroughly surveyed areas of the submontane forests of the Loma-Man highlands. If discovered, it is likely that the threat status of the species would be reduced. It is a climber to at least 10 m, and possibly up to 20 m.[2]
