Abstract

The new taxa Cypholophus treubii var. aciculata (Urticaceae), Polyosma rampae (Polyosmaceae) and Psychotria apiculata var. altigena (Rubiaceae) are described from montane environments in the Kaijende Highlands of Papua New Guinea. A supplementary description is provided for Solanum nolense (Solanaceae), previously known only from a fruiting collection. Synonymies are suggested for species in Cypholophus, Psychotria, and Rubus (Rosaceae).
