Item Remarks[Although there are several specimens of Wright 2960 marked as types of Metastelma pencillatum GRISEB. in different herbaria, only GOET houses two specimens of Wright 2460, as cited in the protologue of this taxon. The labels of these two are written by Grisebach. It is likely that a confusion occurred between the numerals 4 and 9, especially as Wright lists in his coll. numbers a Myrtaceae as 2460. R. Mangelsdorff 2007]
