Gynochthodes hollrungiana is a plant in the family Rubiaceae. [1] Ii is found only in New Guinea. [1]
G. hollrungiana was first described by Theodoric Valeton in 1927 as Morinda hollrungiana. [3] [4] In 2011, based on new molecular studies, the genera, Morinda and Gynochthodes , were redescribed, which necessitated new combinations and names for species in these genera. This resulted in Morinda hollrungiana being assigned to the genus Gynochthodes by Sylvain Razafimandimbison and Birgitta Bremer. [1] [2]
The species epithet, hollrungiana, honours Max Hollrung, a German botanist who collected in Kaiser Wilhelms Land (New Guinea) and who collected the type specimen of Morinda hollrungiana. [2]
