Straussia pubiflora A. Heller , Minnesota Bot. Stud. 1: 905. 1897.
Type information:
Holotype [MIN]. A.A. Heller 2300. 13 May 1895. O`ahu: above Manoa, lower slope of Konahuanui, [heights of Pauoa]. Isotype(s) [A, BISH! [2], F, GH, MO!, NY, US!].

Note: non Psychotria pubiflora (A. Gray) Fosberg (1942). "Heights of Pauoa" was the locality cited by Heller, but was not found on any specimen labels from 13 May with that locality. Sohmer erroneously cited the US sheet as the holotype and the MIN sheet as an isotype. We have no evidence that any collections with this number were made on other dates.
