7. Myrcia goyazensis Cambessèdes (1832: 305) View in CoL .

= Myrcia meiapontensis Glaziou , nom. nud., Bull. Soc. Bot. France 54 (Mém. 3c): 212. 1908.

Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Goiás: Glaziou 21166 (G!, K000343752 !, P00550524!, P00550523!, P00550525!) .

= Myrcia arrudaeana Glaziou , nom. nud., Bull. Soc. Bot. France 54 (Mém. 3c): 212. 1908.

Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Goiás: Glaziou 21167 (BR!, K000261387 !, P00549007!, P00549005!, P00549006!) .

= Myrcia chapadinhaeana Glaziou ex D.Legrand & Mattos, Loefgrenia View in CoL 67: 3 (1975), based on Myrcia chapadinhaeana Glaziou View in CoL , nom. nud., Bull. Soc. Bot. France 54 (Mém. 3c): 217. 1908. Type:— BRAZIL. Distrito Federal: Brasília, Irwin et al. 5189 (MVM).

= Myrcia chapadinhaeana var. meiapontensis (Glaz.) D.Legrand & Mattos, Loefgrenia 67: 4 (1975). Type:— BRAZIL. Goiás: Rio Corumbá , E.P. Heringer 9787 (MVM), syn. nov .

Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Goiás: Glaziou 21179 (G!, P00547152!, P00547151!).

The specimens were collected twice in Goiás, in the municipality of Pirenópolis (Morro do Frota near Meia Ponte and Serra do Arruda), and once in the Distrito Federal (Chapadinha). The two varieties described by Otto von Berg, Myrcia goyazensis var. angustifolia and M. goyazensis var. latifolia ( Berg, 1857 –1859: 188) have already been synonymised to M. goyazensis ( Govaerts et al. 2020) . The Saint-Hilaire specimen (type of Myrcia goyazensis ) and the Glaziou specimens of M. meiapontensis , M. arrudeana and M. chapadinhaeana are all from the “Serra dos Pyreneos”. Myrcia meiapontensis , M. arrudeana and M. chapadinhaeana have similar variability of leaf size and shape to the aforementioned species and they all share the same leaf venation pattern, inflorescence type and indumentum. Legrand & Mattos (1975) recognized Myrcia meiapontensis as a variety of M. chapadinhaeana . The collections are all quite similar as to the shapes, sizes and venation patterns of the leaves, as well as inflorescence and indumentum. This species is now quite well known, with dozens of modern collections of M. goyazensis in HEPH and UB.
