"Psychotria mariniana", or Kōpiko, is a tree endemic to Hawaii. The plant belongs to the Rubiaceae (coffee) family, subfamily Rubioidae. It is a tree of varying size with a dark bark, shiny leaves, and orange oval fruit.

A distinctive line of glands along the bottom of the central vein of each leaf connects this plant to the Hawaiian word for it, since piko means navel (in Hawaiian). The word Kōpiko applies to all the Hawaiian plants in the genus "Psychotria".
