Psychotria samoritourei |
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]
