Type : "30-31 M[elastoma]. nervosa, [...] Native to Jamaica. A specimen with the above name was given to the younger Linnaeus from the Banksian herbarium. It was gathered by a man who deceived his employers, by pretending to have collected many of his plants at the isthmus of Darien; whereas it afterwards appeared he went no further than the West India islands. Hence some of his discoveries, being marked with a wrong place of growth, were not admitted by Dr. Swartz, (unless he had found them himself,) into his West Indian Flora. Such appears to be the case with the present Melastoma, which we cannot refer to any that is described." [protologue].
