This is the first named species of the genus published from the Comoro Islands. The new species resembles G. longistylus (Benth.) Hutch. in the six long, filamentous, stigma appendages, two arising from each of the three styles, also in the absence of an underground tuber or thickened rhizome; it differs in that the bracts are appressed to the rhachises, and about equal in length to them (not patent, and < ¼ as long), the outer tepals turn rapidly from white to translucent at anthesis (not remaining white), the inner perianth lobes are absent (not present and conspicuous), the stigmas are broader than long, held horizontally and are united along their lateral margins (not longer than broad, pendulous, free from each other along their lateral margins). The new species is known from two forest sites, both with threats, and less than 50 individuals are known. Accordingly, it is assessed as Critically Endangered (B1ab(i-iv), B2ab(i-iv), D) using the IUCN 2012 standard.

Perry de la Mélanésie et de la Polynésie occidentale, espèce convergente dans sa morphologie avec plusieurs Psychotria L. récemment transférés dans le genre Eumachia DC. Une analyse des caractères diagnostiques séparant les deux genres a confirmé leur appartenance au genre Psychotria, en raison de leurs fruits de couleur rose, pourpre ou violet, de l'existence d'un pore apical dans le pyrène lisse et de la présence d'un pigment tégumentaire soluble à l'éthanol. Psychotria niauensis sp. nov. se distingue de P. leiophylla par ses inflorescences à pédoncule primaire plus long dépassant 3,5 cm de longueur, des pyrènes ovoïdes (vs. subellipsoïdaux à subglobuleux) et plus petits de 3 mm de diamètre et enfin, des pétioles plus courts inférieurs à 1 cm. Elle se distingue de toutes les autres espèces de Polynésie orientale par la présence d'inflorescences comportant plus de 50 fleurs, par ses fleurs de moins de 7 mm de diamètre, par ses fruits violets à maturité, par ses pyrènes lisses sur la face dorsale et par son écologie particulière puisque se développant sur substrat calcaire.
