This much-named species is by far the commonest and most widely 
distributed representative of Grumilea or Psychotria found in the Philip- 
pines. It is represented by no less than 80 specimens in the herbarium of 
the Bureau of Science, ranging from northern Luzon southward to Min- 
doro, Panay, and Leyte, for the most part distributed as Psychotria 
malayana and P. tacpo (earlier collections) and P. lucgoniensis (recent 
collections).

This species, as I interpret it, has been found in the Philippines only 
- in Palawan. Here I refer For. Bur. 3540 Curran, Bur. Sci. 21534 Escritor, 
Merrill 472, and Phil. Pl. 1229 Merrill, as these specimens seem to me to 
represent the same species as Koorders 25589 from Java. The range of 
the species is the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, and 
Banca.
