Palicourea sodiroi

Palicourea sodiroi is a species of plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is a shrub and grows primarily in wet tropical habitats. It is endemic to Ecuador.

The specific epithet of sodiroi refers to Luis Sodiro (1836–1909), who was an Italian Jesuit priest and a field botanist, who collected many plants in Ecuador.[2]

It was first published in Publ. Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Bot. Ser. vol.22 on page 198 in 1940.[3]
