03EEB12ED4500554FF14FF4EFDF3FB76.taxon	description	A fragment of material at the F herbarium is indicated to be from a Sellow collection of A. bicarinata at the P herbarium. Despite the scarcity of material (a fragment of leaf and some flowers), it is morphologically similar to the other type specimens and the number written on the label is the same present in other duplicates (“ 431 ”). Thus, we also considered this specimen as an isolectotype. The localities on the labels (if present, “ Brasilia ”, i. e., Brazil) and in the protologue (“ Brasilia meridionali ”) are vague but congruent with the species distribution and Sellow’s route (Herter & Rambo 1953).	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED4500554FF14FF4EFDF3FB76.taxon	description	The material housed in the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (K) (Figure 2) was chosen as the lectotype because its label bears Berg’s handwriting (“ Aulomyrcia rufa Bg ”); the specimen matches the protologue well and is representative of the species’ morphology. Type collections of A. rufa with Berg’s handwriting are also found in other herbaria (BR, LE, P and W). The number “ 466 ” is present in the label of some specimens (BR, F, K, LE, P and W herbaria, and there is also the number “ 279 ” in LE and W). As for A. bicarinata, the localities in the labels (“ Brasilia ”, if present) and in the protologue (“ Prov. Rio de Janeiro ”) are vague but agree with the species distribution and Sellow’s route (Herter & Rambo 1953).	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED4560554FF14FB44FE07F9C6.taxon	materials_examined	Type: — BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro: Floresta da Tijuca [“ Brésil (Rio Jan.)

There are two sheets of Myrcia bicolor at C, both bearing the author’s handwriting (“ Myrcia (Aulomyrcia) bicolor ”). Aulomyrcia is the subgenus where the author placed the species (Kiaerskou 1893). The leaf illustrated in the protologue (Tab. V, f; Kiaerskou 1893) was drawn from the lectotype (Figure 3); a draft of the illustration is attached to the sheet. The locality present in some labels of the type collection (“ Province de R. J. Floresta da Tijuca ”, i. e., the Tijuca Forest in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil) matches the species distribution and is considered to be the type locality.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED4560558FF14F914FBBCFB12.taxon	description	The protologue of C. densa cites “ v. s. in h. Mart. ”, referring to Martius’ herbarium, whose collections from Brazil are mainly housed in the M herbarium (Stafleu & Cowan 1981). Two sheets of C. densa collected by Martius are at M, one of them bearing De Candolle’s handwriting (“ Calyptranthes densa prod. ”). The G-DC herbarium houses the reference collection of the Prodromus (De Candolle 1828, Stafleu & Cowan 1976). Among these materials, a specimen of C. densa also bears the De Candolle’s annotation on the label (“ Calyptranthes densa DC. ”). The specimen at G-DC is incomplete, composed only of two short twigs with an infrutescence, as well as loose leaves and fruits; it was probably extracted from the collection at M. The sheets at M are more complete and represent the morphology of the species better. From material at M, the specimen with De Candolle’s handwriting was chosen as the lectotype (the same specimen previously cited by Sobral 2006; Figure 4). A photo identified as a B specimen of the type material of C. densa is present in herbaria at the University of Michigan (MICH) and New York Botanical Garden (NY); in fact this is of one of the M duplicates. Regarding the type locality, the material at M has “ Minas ” written on the label referring to Minas Gerais state in Brazil; this is congruent with the distribution of M. densa and Martius’ route in Brazil (Urban 1906), but is otherwise too vague to discern the exact type locality. Aulomyrcia supraaxillaris: — Analysis of the type collections of Calyptranthes densa and Aulomyrcia supraaxillaris alongside other material from herbarium collections and the field, showed that the two names are synonymous. Both species share diagnostic characters within clade 7 such as monopodial branching, keeled twigs, inconspicuous venation and inflorescences branching only once or twice at the base. The type material of A. supraaxillaris, collected from the Jacobina region (the type locality is discussed below) has wider leaves and thicker branches and inflorescences than average in the species. However, these differences are minor and not enough to recognize a different species. In the protologue of A. supraaxillaris, Berg (1857 – 1859) cites the collection Blanchet 3368 at the B and Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (W) herbaria (“ v. in hb. Berol. et Vindob. ”). As the material at B has been destroyed, material at W was selected as the lectotype of A. supraaxillaris (Figure 5). Material at W also has Berg’s handwriting on the label (“ Aulomyrcia supraaxillaris Bg ”), as does a specimen at Martin-Luther-Universität herbarium (HAL). Mattos (1966) cited an isotype at the herbarium of the Embrapa Amazônia Oriental (IAN) but no type collection was found during a visit to that herbarium. The locality mentioned on some labels and in the protologue (“ Jacobina ”, i. e., the municipality of Jacobina, Bahia state, Brazil) is congruent with the species distribution and with the regions explored by Blanchet or his collaborators (Urban 1906). Jacobina is therefore considered the type locality of A. supraaxillaris.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

Amazonas: Departamento Atures, Sierra Maigualida, NW sector, small valley along an upper tibutary (sic) of Caño Iguana, 05 ˚ 30 ’ N 65 ˚ 15 ’ W, 2000 m, 28 February – 3 March 1991 (fl.), Berry 4874 (holotype VEN [image!], isotypes MEXU [image!], MO!, SEL [image!]) According to recent phylogenetic studies in Myrcia s. l. (Lucas et al. 2011, Santos 2014), synonymization of Marlierea species in Myrcia is recommended if monophyletic, intuitive taxonomic groups are desired (Lucas & Sobral 2011), which is the motivation for the new combination made here. In addition, Myrcia foveolata possesses free calyx lobes and a non-tearing hypanthium at anthesis, characters that conflict with the diagnostic features of Marlierea.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED45A0559FF14F9DCFA0FFE2A.taxon	description	The material at K (Figure 6) was chosen as the lectotype because it has Berg’s handwriting on the label (“ Eugeniopsis angustifolia Bg ”) and the material matches well with the protologue and represents the species’ morphology. The labels on the type collections in the Botanic Garden Meise (BR) and V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) herbaria also bear Berg’s annotation. Material at K and LE have the number “ 1335 ” on the label. The protologue of Eugeniopsis angustifolia (Berg 1857 – 1859) cites the locality as “ Habitat ad ripas in montibus Serra do Caraça, Prov. Minarum ” and “ campis montium Serra do Lenheiro ”. As there is just one gathering, it is not clear why Berg (1857 – 1859) cited two localities. It is also not clear from where he took this information, as the localities in the labels are just “ Brasilia ” (if present). As both localities are part of Sellow’s route (Urban 1906, Herter & Rambo 1953) and within the distribution of M. lenheirensis, it is not possible to precisely infer the type locality.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED45B055DFF14F88BFF64FB71.taxon	description	Berg (1857 – 1859) cites the collection Blanchet 3393 housed at the B and W herbaria in the protologue of A. calyptranthoides (“ v. in hb. Berol. et Vindob. ”). The material at B was destroyed and thus the material at W (Figure 8) is chosen as the lectotype; its label bears Berg’s handwriting (“ Aulomyrcia calyptranthoides Bg ”). The labels in the BR, LE and P herbaria also have Berg’s annotation. The sheet of the isolectotype at K is mixed with a sterile specimen (possibly a Sapotaceae); this may have been a mistake during mounting as it was not seen in the other herbaria. The locality indicated in some labels and in the protologue (“ Jacobina ”, i. e., municipality of Jacobina, Bahia state) is both part of the species distribution and part of the route of Blanchet or his collaborators (Urban 1906). So, as in the case of Aulomyrcia supraaxillaris, Jacobina is here taken to be the type locality of A. calyptranthoides. Myrcia pilodes: — There are two sheets of Myrcia pilodes in the C herbarium, both with Kiaerskou’s handwriting (“ Myrcia (Aulomyrcia) pilodes ”). The duplicate chosen as the lectotype (Figure 9) is the one illustrated in the protologue. One leaf and a branching diagram are illustrated (Tab. VIII, d and Tab. XII, d, respectively; Kiaerskou 1893); drafts are attached to the sheet. The locality cited on the labels of the type collections at the P and Museu Nacional (R) herbaria (“ Serra do Lenheiro ”, in Minas Gerais state) agree with the species distribution and this is here considered the type locality.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED45F0541FF14FB41FB9FFDD2.taxon	description	Only the specimen housed in the MPU Herbaria bears the author’s handwriting identifying the species in the label (Figure 10). For this reason, the material at MPU is here selected as the lectotype. The sheet at P has a different number attached to the type specimen (130) and probably represents another gathering; we consider it and the material at F as syntypes and not as isolectotypes. Neither number (33 a and 130) corresponds to any annotation in Saint-Hilaire’s field books (Pignal et al. 2013). The protologue (Cambessèdes 1832 – 1833) cites the locality as “ In montibus prope vicum Itabira in provincia Minas Geraes ” (i. e., near to the municipality of Itabira – Minas Gerais state, Brazil). This locality agrees with the species distribution and with Saint-Hilaire’s route (Urban 1906); it is here considered to be the type locality.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED45F0541FF14FB41FB9FFDD2.taxon	description	Eugenia rubiginosa: — As in the two previous cases, the specimen at MPU is selected as the lectotype because it bears the author’s handwriting (Figure 12). The protologue of Eugenia rubiginosa (Cambessèdes 1832 – 1833) cites the locality as “ In collibus prope praedium Cachoeira in parte orientali provinciae Minas Geraes ”. It was not possible to locate this place within Minas Gerais so the precise type locality remains unclear.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED4430545FF14FAD0FE42FE62.taxon	description	Berg (1857 – 1859) cites in the protologue of Aulomyrcia subavenia, the locality “ Habitat ad ripas prope Timbopeva in prov. S. Pauli ”. However, A. subavenia has not been reported from São Paulo state (= “ prov. S. Pauli ”) or from any area close to the state boundary. The locality on the type collection label is vague (“ Brasilia ”). The erroneous locality is here assumed to be a mistake of the author and the locality of the type collection remains unclear. Aulomyrcia ferruginea: — Berg (1857 – 1859) cites material of the LE herbarium in the protologue of Aulomyrcia ferruginea (“ hb. Hort. Bot. Petrop. ”). Three sheets of Riedel’s collection of A. ferruginea were found at LE. Two of them (barcodes LE 00007061 and LE 00007062) bear Berg’s handwriting (“ Aulomyrcia ferruginea Bg. ”) and the same number (“ 972 ”). Both specimens were collected in the same area (Serra da Lapa), but they appear to represent different gatherings as Riedel’s labels each have different data. These specimens are here considered syntypes; the most complete is designated as the lectotype of A. ferruginea (Figure 15). The last specimen (barcode LE 00007044) is from the same region but does not bear the same number as the other sheet. There is no evidence that this material was seen by Berg as his handwriting is not on the label; this specimen is therefore not considered part of the type gathering. There is a Riedel collection at P herbarium that does not bear Berg’s handwriting but is identified as A. ferruginea and there is an indication that it was analysed by Berg (“ Teste Berg ”); this is here taken as evidence that the specimen is part of the type gathering. The label of the P specimen does not have any information indicating which material at LE is its duplicate, but the morphology (especially the young leaves) led us to deduce that it is a duplicate of the specimen LE 00007062 at LE herbarium. Thus, we consider it as a remaining syntype and not as an isolectotype. The locality on the labels of the type collection (“ Serra da Lapa ”) and in the protologue (Berg 1857 – 1859, “ Habitat ad ripas rivulorum in montibus Serra da Lapa prov. Minarum ”) corresponds to the current region of the Serra do Cipó (Minas Gerais state, Brazil). This locality matches the species distribution and Riedel’s route (Urban 1906) and is here taken to be the type locality.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED447054CFF14FDB0FB2EFAAE.taxon	description	A photo of the type collection of M. subcordata at the NY herbarium indicates that it is from B when in fact it is an image of the specimen at M. Regarding the type locality, the specimen at M bears “ habitat in Minarum ” on the label. This refers to Minas Gerais state; a very large area to designate as the type locality. This locality does at least agree with the morphology of typical specimens, from the Quadrilátero Ferrífero region. Calyptranthes cordata: — The specimen at the LE herbarium (Figure 17) is the only Sellow collection of Calyptranthes cordata located in the visited herbaria. The specimen morphology matches the protologue and bears the author’s handwriting on the label (“ Calyptranthes cordata Bg ”); it is here selected as the lectotype. While the locality on the label is vague (“ Brasilia ”), the protologue cites “ Habitat in prov. S. Pauli ”. No specimen matching the type morphology has been found in São Paulo state and, as in the case of Aulomyrcia subavenia, an erroneous locality appears to be a mistake of the species’ author. Aulomyrcia breviramis: — As in the previous case, Sellow material at the LE herbarium (Figure 18) is designated as lectotype; the selected specimen bears the author’s handwriting (“ Aulomyrcia breviramis Bg. ”), matches the protologue and is representative of the species morphology. Duplicate collections in the BR, K and P herbaria also bear Berg’s annotation. Some collections show the number “ 4809 ” (K and LE). As in the case of Aulomyrcia pulchra, the localities in the labels (“ Brasilia ”, if present) and in the protologue (“ Habitat in fruticetis ripariis prov. S. Pauli ”) are vague. Aulomyrcia pulchra: — A Sellow sheet at the K herbarium (Figure 19) is designated as lectotype as it bears the author’s handwriting (“ Aulomyrcia pulchra Bg. ”); this specimen matches the protologue and is representative of the species morphology. All type specimens bear Berg’s annotation and the number “ 5129 ”. Locality references in the labels (“ Brasilia ”, if present) and in the protologue (“ Habitat in prov. S. Pauli ”) are vague, but agree with the species distribution and Sellow’s route (Herter & Rambo 1953).	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

03EEB12ED44E054DFF14FAFCFD9EFEF2.taxon	description	In the protologue of Marlierea vicina, McVaugh (1969: 70) highlighted morphological similarity with Marlierea summa: “ (...) this plant resembles Marlierea summa, and perhaps a case could be made for considering it merely a well-marked variety of that species (...) ”. The author described the species judging that it is the best option until more collections are analysed. More collections have been analysed for this study, including specimens from the type locality of M. vicina. Characteristics cited by McVaugh (1969) as distinctive of M. vicina relative to Myrcia summa (longer, darker, apressed trichomes, adaxial surface of leaves not foveolate, inflorescence with less flowers, flowers bigger and tetramerous) are variable in analysed specimens. Additionally, the species share a set of distinctive characteristics within clade 7: sympodial vegetative branching and at the base of the inflorescences, and inconspicuous venation on the adaxial leaf surfaces. It is therefore not possible to recognize M. vicina as a distinct taxon and the species is synonymized under Myrcia summa.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.

Ilheos ” on label), 1835 (fl.), Blanchet 2321 (holotype HAL [89806] [image!], isotypes BM!, F!, G!, K!, LE!, MICH!, NY!, P!, W!). Figure 22. The protologue of Aulomyrcia tenuifolia (Berg 1857 – 1859) cites Blanchet 2321 in the herbarium of Schlechtendal (“ v. in hb. Schlechtend. ”). Currently, the Schlechtendal herbarium is housed at the HAL herbarium (Stafleu & Cowan 1985) where this collection bears Berg’s annotation (“ Aulomyrcia tenuifolia Bg ”), as does the duplicate at LE. However, Berg only visited the LE herbarium while preparing the supplement to Flora Brasiliensis (published in 1859), well after description of A. tenuifolia in volume 14 of Flora Brasiliensis (published in 1857). The duplicate at HAL (Figure 22) therefore is the only one to have been seen by Berg for the description of A. tenuifolia. It is therefore considered the holotype as proposed by Sobral (2006). The type locality (“ Ilheos ”, i. e., the municipality of Ilhéus, Bahia state) is indicated on some specimen labels (G and K herbaria). This region is part of the species distribution and also corresponds to the areas visited by Blanchet or his collaborators (Urban 1906); the vicinity of Ilhéus is here considered the type locality of the species. Berg (1857 – 1859) cites in the protologue “ Habitat in prov. Bahiensis ” and “ Pl. Hamadryas ” (i. e., Hamadryades sensu Martius 1824). Hamadryades is equivalent to the Caatinga domain, where the species does not occur; the term Dryades (Martius 1840) is the equivalent to the Atlantic Forest, where the species occurs. Again, it is believed that this discrepancy regarding the type locality is the author’s error, as in the cases of Aulomyrcia subavenia and Calyptranthes cordata.	en	Santos, Matheus F., Sano, Paulo T., Lucas, Eve (2016): Lectotypifications of some Nineteenth Century names and other nomenclatural updates in Myrcia s. l.
