Usage notes
Benson (1964) also includes the definition Grumilea platyphylla, now considered as synonymous with Psychotria goetzei var. platyphylla, whose only distribution, however, is Tanzania, not Kenya inhabited by Kikuyu people according to Lovett & Clarke (1998) and Govaerts et al. (2021). Dale & Greenway (1961: 444) also had featured Grumilea platyphylla (but with a Kikuyu name Mukambokombo), which was later re-determined and described as a new species Psychotria pseudoplatyphylla by Petit (1964: 90).
