Psychotria samoritourei

Psychotria samoritourei is a liana species belonging to the family Rubiaceae, native to the forests of the Loma-Man highlands in Upper Guinea, West Africa.[4][5] It is the sixth known lianescent African species of its genus.[4] It is found in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. It is also possible that the species is present in other, less thoroughly surveyed areas of the submontane forests of the Loma-Man highlands. If discovered, it is likely that the threat status of the species would be reduced.[5] It is a climber to at least 10 m, and possibly up to 20 m.[5]
