Primary Citation:

Herb. Fl. Bras. n. 987. 1837
Description:

Taxonomic notes: Based on: Brazil. Minas Gerais: Itacolumi, Feb 1839 (fl, fr), Claussen s.n. (=Martius Herb. Fl. Bras. n. 987) (BR, M, frag. NY, P, W). Martius' book ends on page 352 with species no. 722. The no. 987 does not appear in the 1837 publication, but only in the Geneva copy which has extra lithographed pages with nos. 723-1310 (cf. Stafleu & Cowan, 1981). The name was therefore never validly published, and the specimens are determined as Gaultheria myrtilloides Cham. & Schltdl.
