Rosa, Priscila O., Vasconcelos, Thaís N. C., Lucas, Eve J. & Proença, Carolyn E. B., 2021, Revisiting Glaziou and the botany of the second Cruls Mission: three new species and 23 accepted species of Myrcia (Myrtaceae) collected from Goiás, Brazil and a detailed description of his “ Goyaz ” itinerary, Phytotaxa 509 (1), pp. 69-92 : 82

12. Myrcia neolucida A.R.Lourenço & E.Lucas var. neolucida (in Lourenço et al. 2018: 79).

Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Goiás: Glaziou 21177 ( BR855208 , P 05232170) .

The single collection from Goiás was identified by Glaziou as Calyptranthes affinis O. Berg (1857 –1859: 43), now a synonym of Myrcia neolucida . It is very common in the forest formations of the Cerrado biome. Besides the calyptra, the spatial arrangement of leaves opposed to inflorescence are important for the diagnosis of this species.
