Eugenia anomala D.Legrand, Anales Mus. Hist. Nat. Montevideo , II, 4(11): 61. 1936 ( Type : Uruguay , Rivera , Arechavaleta s.n. , MVM). = Hexachlamys humilis O.Berg , Linnaea 27: 345. 1856 (Type: Montevideo, Sellow s.n. , B, probably destroyed. Lectotype : Brazil , Paraná , S. Ignacio, Sellow 1090 , US , here designated). Eugenia humilis (O.Berg) Benth. ex Nied. , Nat. Pflanzenfam. 3(7): 82. 1893., nom. illeg. , not E. humilis Vell., Fl. Flum. 5: 210, tab. 43, 1829. Eugenia vallsiana Mattos , Loefgrenia 105: 2. 1995 . The protologue of Hexachlamys humilis ( Berg 1855 -1856) consists in a generic-specific description which cites Sellow s.n. as type, a specimen probably lost. Nevertheless, in his treatment of Brazilian Myrtaceae Berg (1857 -1859) extends his description and cites an additional collection of Sellow made at S. Ignacio, in the Brazilian state of Paraná, of which there exists a duplicate at US , and may be considered an adequate lectotype . Eugenia anomala is the correct name for Hexachlamys humilis when this genus is merged with Eugenia , as is the case in the Brazilian list. This species has been erroneously cited as Eugenia plurisepala Barb.Rodr. ex Chodat & Hassl. ( Sobral 2003 ) and E. vallsiana ( Stehmann et al. , 2009 ) .
