5.3.2. Myrcia scoparia (O.Berg) A.R.Lourenço & E.Lucas (in Lourenço et al. 2018: 81). Calyptranthes scoparia O. Berg (1861: 247) . Type:— BRAZIL. Brasilia, Alto do Amazonas, Araracoara, von Martius s.n. ( holotype M0137153!).

The type material of Myrcia scoparia is very poor, not allowing adequate recognition and circumscription of this species within M. sect. Calyptranthes ( Burton et al. 2022) . More collections and/or inclusion in phylogenetic analysis are necessary for a consistent placement of the species.
