I admire your enthusiasm for the jaboticaba relatives and your compendium of notes on the various species seems well written.
My area of curiosity regards how you reached your conclusion that nearly every nursery in Florida is selling Myrciaria jaboticaba as opposed to M. cauliflora. While I do not discount the possibility that all these nurseries, Mr. Whitman, Dr. Campbell and countless other collectors and collections could have made the potential mis-identification, I am left wondering what you based your conclusion on as you appear to state it as with certainty that so many have mis-identified it? I should note that I further do not discount the possibility that there could be an error in Lorenzi's book, for as Oscar has noted previously, such large works often have an error or two.
On the other hand, I do think that it is a big deal if they are mis-labeled, and if so, it should be brought to their attention. Just as many people have mentioned receiving mango cultivars that turn out not to be what they were sold, this too should be corrected, especially since it will be many years before most people get fruit, and possibly be disappointed. Since a nursery is only as good as its reputation, I would expect them to do their due diligence and note the correct botanical name.
