Abstract

Holotypes do not exist for many names currently accepted in Calyptranthes (Myrtaceae – Myrciinae), either because the species was described with several syntypes or because the holotype is lost or destroyed. A thorough literature survey, extensive visits to international herbaria and analysis of online type collections has been undertaken. As a result, six lectotypifications and three neotypifications are made here. The type collection for Calyptranthes thomasiana is clarified.
