Wendlandia psychotrioides is a species of shrubs or small trees, constituting part of the plant family Rubiaceae.[3]

An officially extinct species,[5] apparently it was found only (endemic) in the wet tropics rainforests of north eastern Queensland, Australia.

It was scientifically described in 1889 & 1892 by Ferdinand von Mueller, notable colonial Melbourne Herbarium botanist. The specific name describes it as like Psychotria.

William A. Sayer,[6][7] botanical collector associate of Mueller, collected specimens of it about "Mt Bellenden Ker" in 1887 as recorded on the "9/87" label written by Ferdinand von Mueller on his herbarium specimen sent on the 15th of March 1892 to Kew Royal Botanic Gardens, UK.[8]

"On the Russell River; W. Sayers [sic]", is its location and collector recorded in Ferdinand von Mueller’s 1889 published original botanical description of this species.[1] The region of the Russell River is the same as the region of Mount Bellenden Ker.

Mueller’s 1889 original botanical description of the species was under the name Oldenlandia psychotrioides.[1][4] In 1892 he re-diagnosed it as constituting a species of this Wendlandia genus, after newly describing Wendlandia basistaminea as a species. He provided some comparative notes on them and related species of this genus.[2][3]
