Ξ Chassalia montana (Blume) Miq., Fl. Ned. Ind. 2: 281. 1857. Ξ Uragoga montana (Blume) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 2: 961. 1891.
Lectotypus (designated by SOHMER, 1988: 320): INDONESIA. Java: s.d., Blume s.n. (L [L0281716] image seen).
Notes. – This name was accepted and said to be a species found from southeastern Asia to Java and possibly also in New Guinea by GOVAERTS et al. (2015). However SOHMER (1988) studied Psychotria montana in some detail, and concluded it was too poorly known to include in his formal treatment. SOHMER did however lectotypify this name, and formally synonymized P. expansa with it. SOHMER (1988) discussed P. montana because he thought several specimens from New Guinea might belong to this species, and suggested that P. montana may be related to Eumachia leptothyrsa. In the end he left resolution of the identities of P. montana, P. expansa, and the New Guinea specimens for future study, and it is also beyond the scope of this present study.
