P. Burton Molino & G. P. Burton O. Berg [208,769,446,472] Magnoliopsida Myrtaceae Myrcia Plantae Myrtales 12 141 Tracheophyta species forsteri    Myrcia forsteriresembles  M. celaenensisand  M. florifera, both considered  Myrciasect. Aulomyrcia(the latter supported by phylogenetic analysis; Wilson et al. 2016). As in the case of  Myrcia celaenensis, absence of sympodial branching, inflorescence structure (non sympodial branching at the base and presence of subopposite branching), floral bud morphology (obovoid) and an irregularly tearing calyptra, indicate a calyptrate species of M.sect.  Aulomyrcia. Type specimens at M and MEL have Berg’s handwriting and both were probably seen by the species author. We choose the MEL specimen as the lectotypebecause it is more representative of the species morphology.
