[254] Monteverdia myrsinoides (Reissek) Biral Syst. Bot. 42 (4): 689 [epubl. 18 Dec. 2017] (Biral 2017). — Maytenus myrsinoides Reissek, Fl. Bras. [Martius] 11 (1): 21 [15 Feb. 1861] (Reissek 1861). — Maytenus reissekii Urb., Festschr. Ascherson 58 (Urban 1904), nom. illeg. superfl. (based on Maytenus myrsinoides Reissek, non Urb. [Urban 1904]). NOTE. — By transferring Myginda myrsinoides Kunth [= Crossopetalum myrsinoides (Kunth) Kuntze (1891), “ myrtinodes ”)] into Maytenus Molina, Urban (1904: 58) created a later homonym of Maytenus myrsinoides Reissek. Curiously, he treated the latter as if it was itself the later homonym, and created a new name for the corresponding taxon. As a result, Maytenus reissekii is superfluous.
