Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Goiás: Glaziou 21139 (BR!, G!, K000342746!, K000342747!, P00547323!, P00547324!, P00547325!).

Myrcia crulsiana is found written both with s and with z on the labels. The collection Glaziou 21135, identified as Myrcia paracatuensis (see M. myrtillifolia ) by Glaziou also belongs to this species. This subshrub is common in the Distrito Federal cerrado. It is similar to Myrcia guianensis and M. myrtillifolia when vegetative, but is xylopodiferous, cespitose, with a short delicate inflorescence as in M. dictyophylla and a 2-locular ovary. Myrcia crulsiana is herein included under M. dictyophylla ( Santos et al. 2020) due to the great similarity in leaf shape and inflorescence.
