Wendlandia psychotrioides is a species of shrubs or small trees, constituting part of the plant family Rubiaceae.[3]
An officially extinct species,[5][6] the only (endemic) records of the species were from 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,[7][8] 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.[9]
"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]
