NOTES. — Although Miconia punctata var. latifolia Cogn. is based on Eurychaenia punctata var. latifolia Griseb. , the latter cannot be treated as the basionym because it is an illegitimate superfluous name. Goldenberg et al. (2013) cited an incorrect reference for it (“ Fl. Brit. W.I. [Grisebach] 259” (Grisebach 1860); no such name therein), and placed it in synonymy with M. punctata (Desr.) D.Don ex DC.
