In this paper a neotype is chosen for Myrtus luma, a name first proposed by J.I. Molina in 1782 and the basionym of the currently used name, Amomyrtus luma; the illegitimate name Campomanesia sessiliflora var. lanuginosa is formalized with a new description and type; a new variety is described, Psidium striatulum var. rondoniense; and lectotypes are chosen for Psidium cattleyanum var. coriaceum and Psidium thea.
