9. Myrcia lasiantha De Candolle (1828: 254) .

= Myrcia ferruginea Glaziou , nom. nud., Bull. Soc. Bot. France 54 (Mém. 3c): 214. 1908.

Specimens examined of M. ferruginea :— BRAZIL. Goiás: Glaziou 21195 (BR!, P00547995!, P00547994!).

Specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Goiás: Glaziou 21155 (G!, K000262486 !, P00547248!) .

The collection Glaziou 21155 was erroneously identified as Myrcia cordifolia O. Berg (1857 –1859: 205); Glaziou 21195 is identified either as Myrcia ferruginea (at BR and P) or M. lanuginosa O. Berg (1857 –1859: 205) (at K). The basic differences between Myrcia lanuginosa and M. lasiantha are the longer indumentum, almost hirsute in the first, and the bracteoles and leaves with more acute apices in M. lasiantha . Glaziou collected it in the Distrito Federal and Goiás (Bella Vista to Barro Amarello).
