Eugenia subglomerata (Kuntze) Sobral, comb. nov.

Basionym: Myrtus subglomerata Kuntze (1898: 92), replacing name for Eugenia glomerata Spring ex Martius (1837: 82), nom. illeg.

(type:— BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro, Corcovado, Martius 43, holotype M!, image M0137817 ),

not Eugenia glomerata Lamarck (1789: 199) [= Myrtus glomerata (Lam.) Sprengel (1825:483); = Syzygium glomeratum (Lam.) De Candolle (1828: 259)].

= Eugenia neoglomerata Sobral (1995: 35), nom. illeg.

Eugenia glomerata Spring ex Martius is an illegitimate name for which the replacing name Eugenia neoglomerata was proposed; nevertheless, Kuntze had already published a new name for this species under Myrtus Linnaeus (1753: 471); his name has priority over Eugenia neoglomerata, and the proper new combination is presented here.
