The vernacular name of this shrub was given me as Govinha do Campo, and it (the 
berries I presume) was said to be used in flavouring caña. Myrcia effusa is called 
Govinha, and I think it quite possible that my informant may have mistaken the 
Chomelia for the Myrcia, the former having much the habit of a Myrtacea. Moreover, 
Myrcia-berries are much more likely to be used as a flavouring than those of Chomelia. 
The root of the word is perhaps gorvo, the Portuguese for a clove.

Both Mueller Arg. and the authors of the ‘Genera Plantarum’ agree in describing 
the flowers as tetramerous, but some of the flowers of my specimens are pentamerous, as is 
also the case with herbarium specimens examined by me. (Bras. Or., Goyaz, Amazonia.]
