Myrcia neopallens A.R.Lourenço & E.Lucas
PALE LIDFLOWER; SPICEWOOD
**
Species of Calyptranthes were recently moved to the genus Myrcia (Lourenço et al. 2018). Though the two species of Myrcia sect. Calyptranthes are clearly distinct in Florida, Burton et al. (2022) advocated treating the two as varieties of one species (M. chytraculia), with M. neopallens as a synonym of Myrcia chytraculia var. pauciflora. If treated as a species in the genus Myrcia, the appropriate species name for Calyptranthes pallens may be Myrcia aromatica based on the synonymy in Burton (et al. 2022) or in a narrower species concept a combination based on Calyptranthes williamsii.
