Myrcia foveolata (B. Holst 2002: 145 ) M.F.Santos , comb. nov . ≡ Marlierea foveolata B.Holst. Type:— VENEZUELA . Amazonas : Departamento Atures, Sierra Maigualida, NW sector, small valley along an upper tibutary ( sic ) of Caño Iguana, 05˚30’N 65˚15’W, 2000 m , 28 February–3 March 1991 (fl.), Berry 4874 ( holotype VEN [image!], isotypes MEXU [image!], MO!, SEL [image!]) According to recent phylogenetic studies in Myrcia s.l. (Lucas et al. 2011, Santos 2014 ), synonymization of Marlierea species in Myrcia is recommended if monophyletic, intuitive taxonomic groups are desired ( Lucas & Sobral 2011 ), which is the motivation for the new combination made here. In addition, Myrcia foveolata possesses free calyx lobes and a non-tearing hypanthium at anthesis, characters that conflict with the diagnostic features of Marlierea .
