Typification and nomenclatural notes on Psidium cattleyanum (Myrtaceae)

Abstract

Psidium cattleyanum is a species of Myrtaceae native to the eastern coast of Brazil, widely naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions of the world due to its economic potential to be commercially exploited. Despite its importance, the name has not previously been typified. A lectotype is designated, and the correct spelling of the epithet is shown to be "cattleyanum" not "cattleianum" as was originally published.

Propriedades Nutritivas e Bioativas do Araçá (Psidium cattleianum Sabine)

“…Os compostos fenólicos têm grande diversidade química, desempenhando um papel muito importante na saúde humana, pelo seu potencial nutricional, antioxidante, antimicrobiano e antinflamatório (Tuler et al, 2018). Estes compostos são provenientes prioritariamente do metabolismo secundário das plantas, que estão diretamente ligados ao metabolismo primário e sintetizados através da via do acetato e chiquimato e pela metabolização dos fenilpropanoides em plantas (Figura 3).…”

Leaf anatomy for delimiting Atlantic Forest species of Psidium (Myrtaceae)

“…Psidium is the third largest genus of the angiosperm family Myrtaceae in Brazil, comprising about 65 species (Tuler et al 2020). Recent phylogenetic studies have demonstrated the genus to be monophyletic (Costa 2009;Vasconcelos et al 2017;Tuler et al 2019), while recent taxonomic studies have improved species circumscription (e.g., Landrum & Sobral 2006;Landrum & Funch 2008;Soares-Silva & Proença 2011;Landrum & Proença 2015;Landrum 2017;Tuler et al 2016Tuler et al , 2018Tuler et al , 2019Tuler et al , 2020. However, many nomenclatural issues among species of the genus remain unclear.…”
