Wendlandia psychotrioides is a species of plant in the Rubiaceae family.
It is an extinct species,[1] apparently endemic to Queensland wet tropics.[2]
It was scientifically described by notable colonial Melbourne Herbarium botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1889 & 1892. The specific name is described as like Psychotria. William A. Sayer[3][4] collected specimens of it about "Mt Bellenden Ker" in 1887 as recorded on Ferdinand von Mueller’s "9/87" label on his herbarium specimen sent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK, on the 15 March 1892.[5] "On the Russell River; W. Sayers [sic]" is its collection location recorded in Ferdinand von Mueller’s 1889 original published botanical description of it.[6] 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.[6][7] In 1892 he re-diagnosed it as constituting a species in the genus Wendlandia and wrote some comparative notes on it and related species in that genus.[8][9]
