Lectotypes are elected when appropriate for these species and comments about the synonyms and lectotypifications are provided. We also propose a new name—Maytenus fugax—for M. nemorosa Biral & Lombardi, later homonym of M. nemorosa (Ecklon & Zeyher) Marais.97-100engCelastralesLectotypeNeotropicsTaxonomyTypificationCarta10.11646/phytotaxa.261.1.7Acesso aberto2-s2.0-84969220025
