6. Plinia parvifolia (O. Berg 1857: 33) Stadnik & Sobral View in CoL , comb. nov. Basionym: Marlierea parvifolia O.Berg.
Type:— BRAZIL. Bahia: “Sertão de Rio São Franscisco”, 1839 (fl), Blanchet 2919 (lectotype, designated here: W! [0047993]; isolectotypes: A [image!], B [destroyed], BM!, BR!, F!, G! [two sheets], K! [two sheets], MICH!, P!, W! [121551]) .
Marlierea parvifolia presents features which clearly place it in Plinia such as the raised midvein on the adaxial surface, axillary and cymose inflorescences on old branches (not current season branches), a pair of persistent bracteoles, hypanthium significantly prolonged beyond the top of the ovary and reduced calyx lobes that split irregularly at anthesis. The species is distinctive from all other Plinia species by the ovate leaves, venation pattern, numerous and conspicuous glands (mainly abaxially), and clavate floral bud with a narrow base and large apical portion.
One of the specimens at W was chosen as the lectotype because it was cited by Berg (1857 –1859) (as “in hb. Berol. et Vindob”) and matches the description.
