The long branch in the center belongs to a different species not yet identified. Photographed by V. Bittrich. Note. Saldanha's collection numbers listed in a close numerical sequence may well belong to the same gathering (R. Forzza pers. com.). However, it is not possible for us to authenticate the preceding. Regarding the other species of Tovomitopsis described by Engler (1888) , Vesque (1893) transferred Tovomitopsis spruceana to Clusia (as C. trochiformis Vesque) and inadvertently proposed the lectotype by citing Spruce 4569 at the Boissier herbarium (now housed at G) as the type, but unfortunately this specimen was not found.
