Text:
"The NCVP failed to reach a majority recommendation on Proposal (2013) to conserve Myrcia against Calyptranthes. The GC initially rejected the proposal (9–15–1–0). However, a convincing case for conservation was put to the GC by a group of 23 workers on New World Myrtaceae and a second vote (18–4–3–0) reversed the initial decision, i.e., Myrcia is conserved against Calyptranthes."
