19. Eugenia glomeruliflora Mazine View in CoL , nom. nov.
Replaced synonym: Eugenia macrophylla O.Berg (1857: 268) . Nom. illeg., non Eugenia macrophylla Lamarck (1789: 196) . Eugenia cupulata Amshoff var. macrophylla McVaugh (1969: 176) .
Type:— BRAZIL. “In silvis ad oppidum Ega prov. do Alto Amazonas”, October 1834, Poeppig 2704 ( holotype W, isotypes BM, G, LE, P).
Notes:— McVaugh (1969) recognized Eugenia macrophylla O. Berg as a variety of Eugenia cupulata Amshoff (1942: 160) , E. cupulata var. macrophylla McVaugh , differing from E. cupulata var. cupulata through its flowers arranged in fascicles, with a very short rachis ( 2–7 mm long), with rusty to yellow trichomes. The holotype and isotypes of E. macrophylla O. Berg ( Poeppig 2704) have been analyzed and compared to types and other specimens of Eugenia cupulata Amshoff. We concluded that it is a different species, being part of Eugenia sect. Umbellatae , not Eugenia sect. Racemosae .
A new name was necessary because Eugenia macrophylla Lam. (1789) has priority.
Etymology:—The specific epithet alludes the short-pediceled flowers, densely arranged similar to a cluster.
The name of Otto Berg does not appear between brackets before McVaugh’s name, because E. macrophylla O. Berg is an illegitimate name, a later homonym ( McNeill et al. 2012, article 6.11).
