Psychotria calocarpa  ??

To me looks different from images of Psychotria calocarpa at

Sir it probably Psychotria nervosa

We do not have any distribution of Psychotria nervosa Sw. in India.

Psychotria monticola Kurz ??

Yes, possible as per GBIF– Specimen from India.
Also see this specimen.
Psychotria fulva Buch.-Ham. ex Hook.f. is a syn. of Psychotria monticola Kurz as per Catalogue of Life.

Psychotria,


Any keys, …?
Leaves appear closer to your images at Psychotria monticola Kurz



As the keys are mainly based on the shape of the pyrene (with seeds inside).
Let us keep it as Psychotria monticola only until we have more details and pyrene.
