≡ 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 .
