Myrtaceae Types
Back to ASU Herbarium Homepage
 
INTRODUCTION
In the course of my studies of the subtribe Myrtinae of the Myrtaceae in Latin America I have accumulated a database of names displayed here. I recently began to collect images of the type specimens of these names as the specimens or images become available to me. I am now able to present many of these for others to study, namely from Arizona State University (ASU), the Field Museum of Natural History (F), the New York Botanical Garden (NY), the US National Herbarium (US) and the V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) (Russian Academy of Sciences).  I hope to make many more available as other herbaria give ASU permission to post images of their types.

Only types and historical specimens (e.g., those annotated by O. Berg) are displayed here.
An image library of miscellaneous American Myrtaceae can be found at SEINET (select "Miscellaneous American Myrtaceae" checklist and click on button to display checklist; clicking on a name brings up one or more images; clicking on the image enlarges it).

The New World Myrtinae consist of the following genera (each followed by an estimate of the number of species): Acca (3), Accara (1), Amomyrtella (2), Amomyrtus (2), Blepharocalyx (3), Calycolpus (12), Campomanesia (31), Chamguava (3), Mosiera (17), Myrrhinium (1), Myrteola (3), Pimenta (15), Psidium (70), Ugni (3).

Many species are widespread and variable and have often been described numerous times, so that ultimately each accepted species name may have many synonyms. As I write these words in February 2003 I am currently trying to establish useful species limits in the largest genus, Psidium. I expect the process to last a few more years.

This web page was prepared by Ed Gilbert (now at GIOS) and Shannon Doan (former ASU Collections Manager).
