the second one looks like Tibouchina. For the first one we'd need more detail and different angles [especially emerging leaves and fruit/seed].

Irie,

Looking like palicourea lasiantha.

Most palicourea are synonymous with Psychotria(?).

Zaka friend thanks for the name, which is a synonym of Psychotria or is a variety of Psychotria?

I THINK what Zaka Means is that they are Synonymous, meaning that they are VERY similar to Psychotria, or more-so the Sub-Genus Heteropsychotria... However they have been left separate due to the diversity in the pyschotria Genus already ! My identification of these plants isn't so good but hopefully this helps with the understanding of what Zaka meant.

Irie,

That's basically it.

What happen many years ago when they went around collecting specimens, some would id them as Psychotria, then someone else would find a plant in a different area and would call it Palicourea.

This lead to much confusion which they are still sorting out.....

Respect,
