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).
