Description
Summary:Psidium cattleyanum is a species of Myrtaceae native to the eastern coast of Brazil, widely naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions of the world due to its economic potential to be commercially exploited. Despite its importance, the name has not previously been typified. A lectotype is designated, and the correct spelling of the epithet is shown to be "cattleyanum" not "cattleianum" as was originally published.
