The Genus Psychotria (Rubiaceae) in the Philippine Archipelago. 2007. (Sida Botanical Miscellany, 27). 128 b/w figures. 246 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
The genus Psychotria (Rubiaceae) is probably the world's largest predominantly woody genus with perhapsaround 2000 species. It has a pantropical distribution and is often a very obvious and species-rich component of humid, tropical forests, particularly in Africa, south-east Asia, and South America. The high number of species, coupled with bewildering systematic complexity, has resulted in a genus that is poorly known, particularly in south-east Asia. (Quoted from abstract.)
