03AC8791FF99FFD5FF520DD60EC7FF30.taxon	distribution	Distribution, habitat and phenology: — presently known from two collections from the Estação Biológica de Santa Lúcia, in the municipality of Santa Teresa, where it grows in forests at altitudes up to 700 m above sea level; fruits and old flowers were collected both in March and April.	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF99FFD5FF520DD60EC7FF30.taxon	conservation	Conservation: — the municipality of Santa Teresa has an area of approximately 700 km 2 (IBGE 2012), and was intensely surveyed botanically, since 28,300 collections are reported in specieslink (CRIA 2012). This figure results in a collection density of about 40 collections / km 2, a high proportion in relation to most areas in Brazil, which has a mean density of about 0.6 collection / km 2 (Sobral & Stehmann 2009). The fact that in spite of a considerable sampling of the region only two specimens of C. santalucia were collected may be a consistent indication of its rarity; such information, together with relatively recent data estimating that only 18 % of the original vegetation of Santa Teresa remains (Mendes & Padovan 2000), allows the application of IUCN criteria B 1 ab (iii) for the Endangered (EN) category (IUCN 2001), since the extension area of the species is smaller than 5000 km 2 (criterion B 1), it grows in a severely fragmented (criterion a) which presents a constant decline of its extent (criterion b (iii )).	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF99FFD5FF520DD60EC7FF30.taxon	discussion	Affinities: — apparently related to Calyptranthes brasiliensis Sprengel (for description see Berg 1857 – 1859, Lourenço & Barbosa 2012 or Sprengel 1821), from which it is set apart through the unbranched inflorescences with up to three flowers (versus two to three times branched inflorescences with up to 15 flowers in C. brasiliensis), as well as through the acuminate leaf tips with densely appressed indumentum on the abaxial side (some forms of C. brasiliensis, mostly from coastal forests, also present a dense indumentum in young blades, but it is mostly velutinous and never appressed). Although there are several species of Calyptranthes with unbranched inflorescences (e. g. C. caudata Gardner, C. pteropoda O. Berg, C. rubella (O. Berg) D. Legrand and C. tricona D. Legrand), C. santalucia is not compared with them because they are vegetatively distinct, sharing only the character of a reduced inflorescence.	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF9BFFD3FF520DAA0EE0FF30.taxon	conservation	Conservation: — the two presently known collections come from municipalities in the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais that are about 200 km apart; although both municipalities are relatively well surveyed (Prado — 1,740 km 2 and 2,258 gatherings; Santa Maria do Salto — 440 km 2 and 1,452 gatherings, with collection densities of 1.5 and 3.3 collection / km 2, respectively; data from IBGE 2012 and CRIA 2012), the lack of additional collections or any collection from the municipalities between them may be an indicative of its rareness. Nevertheless, in want of more precise data, it is preferable to consider the conservation status of this species as Data Deficient (DD) according to the IUCN conservation criteria (IUCN 2001) for the present.	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF9DFFD1FF520DAA0BC1FF30.taxon	conservation	Conservation status: — the municipalities of Jaqueira and Bonito have an area of approximately 480 km 2 (IBGE 2012), and there are 4,170 collections from both municipalities combined (CRIA 2012); they are not contiguous and are connected by two other municipalities, Belém de Maria and Catende, with 73 and 207 km 2 (IBGE 2012) and 7 and 131 collections (CRIA 2012), respectively. The totality of these municipalities thus comprise about 760 km 2, and the total collection density is about 24 collections / km 2, which is a considerable sampling effort. In the light of these data, the existence of only two collections of this species may be presumed to be a real indicative of its rarity. Nevertheless, since additional information on issues such as environmental fragmentation or decline are wanting, Eugenia culicina must be presently scored as DD (Data Deficient).	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF9FFFDEFF520DAA0B2CFE22.taxon	distribution	Distribution, habitat and phenology: — this species was collected along the coastal Atlantic Rainforest in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. It is a small forest tree, and was colleted with flowers in April and November and fruits in February.	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF9FFFDEFF520DAA0B2CFE22.taxon	conservation	Conservation: — Eugenia lacistema is presently known from four gatherings from three municipalities of southern Bahia. The municipalities of Canavieiras and Una are contiguous and occupy an area of 2,500 km 2 (IBGE 2012), Itacaré has an area of 737 km 2 (IBGE 2012); all these areas have been intensely surveyed by the staff of the Cacao Research Center (CEPEC), and there are 23,596 gatherings registered for these municipalities (CRIA 2012), resulting in an average of over seven collections per square kilometer, what can be considered a good ratio of collections compared to the mean collection density in Brazil (Sobral & Stehmann 2009). The scarcity of collections of this species may therefore be considered indicative of its rarity, especially considering that between the municipalities of Itacaré and the other two is the municipality of Ilhéus, with 1,760 km 2 and 22,837 collections (13 collections / km 2), where this species has apparently not yet been collected. The total known range of the species would then occupy about 5,000 km 2, fitting the IUCN criteria for Vulnerable (VU), since the total extent of occurrence is less than 20,000 km 2 (criterion VU B 1, IUCN 2001), it exists at no more than 10 locations (criterion B 1 a), and there is a continuing decline in the quality of its habitat (criterion B 1 b (iii )) since southern Bahia has been severely deforested and is suffering intense anthropic interference.	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF91FFDCFF520F120D46FF30.taxon	conservation	Conservation: — Eugenia viscacea was collected in Castro Alves, in central eastern Bahia, a municipality of 700 km 2 (IBGE 2012) from which there 1,097 gatherings are known (CRIA 2012), with an average of 1.5 collection / km 2; the existence of only one known collection of the species may be indicative of its rarity, but it may be that botanists did not returned to the collection area, since most of the collections in Castro Alves were made before 2000 (CRIA 2012). So, it seems adequate to consider this species as DD (Data Deficient) according to IUCN criteria (IUCN 2001).	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

Since additional information on environmental status such as habitat fragmentation and decline are wanting, however, it must be scored as DD (Data Deficient), according to IUCN criteria (IUCN 2001).	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF96FFC7FF5208910B68FA01.taxon	distribution	Distribution, habitat and phenology: — Myrciaria evanida was gathered at two localities in southeastern Brazil, the Sooretama Federal Reserve in the state of Espírito Santo and the Rio Doce State Park in the state of Minas Gerais, both in the Atlantic Rainforest domain. The two sites are 500 km apart, but both are along the Rio Doce basin; so, it is possible that in the future the species may be collected in other sites along this basin, although this entire region has been subject to high levels of deforestation. Flowers were collected in August and fruits in July.	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.

03AC8791FF89FFC6FF530DAA0C13FD67.taxon	discussion	In the protologue, Kiaerskou (1893) warns that specimens of Glaziou 13878 were distributed as " Eugenia dives " (it is possible that Kiaerskou had in mind E. gardneriana O. Berg var. dives O. Berg, a synonym of E. florida De Candolle — see Govaerts et al. 2012). All specimens of Glaziou 13878 that I was able to examine until now belong to Eugenia florida, a quite distinct species and obviously an error of labeling; throughout the description of E. ellipsoidea, Kiaerskou clearly refers to the features of Glaziou 13876, a gathering of only fruiting material; the duplicates of Glaziou 13878 are flowering specimens, and Kiaerskou do not mention flowers in the protologue, nor other characters of Glaziou 13878, such as well developed racemiform inflorescences and larger blades. So, the present lectotypification is necessary to avoid future misconceptions of E. ellipsoidea. Images of the referred types are available on-line, Glaziou 13876 (http: // apps. kew. org / herbcat / getImage. do? imageBarcode = K 000276647) and 13878 (http: // www. br. fgov. be / RESEARCH / COLLECTIONS / HERBARIUM / detail. php?

03AC8791FF89FFC6FF520FEE0D99FABC.taxon	discussion	Eugenia umbellata was described by Sprengel (1821) based on a Brazilian gathering without locality. Berg (1857 – 1859) merged it under the synonymy of Eugenia sphenophylla var. tristis O. Berg, although he apparently did not examined the type of E. umbellata, since he did not cites it in the protologue. Eugenia sphenophylla var. tristis (type: Sellow s. n., Rio de Janeiro, BR; http: // www. br. fgov. be / RESEARCH / COLLECTIONS / HERBARIUM / detail. php? ID = 473754) is distinct from E. umbellata through its obovate, not acuminate leaves, smaller petioles and pilose flowers. Govaerts et al. (2012) includes E. umbellata Spreng. in the synonymy of E. erythrocarpa (Kunth) De Candolle); nevertheless, Eugenia erythrocarpa, presently known from Colombia (type: Humboldt & Bonpland s. n., P; http: // dsiphoto. mnhn. fr / sonnera 2 / LAPI / leafS / S 20120604 / P 00679478. jpg), has leaves with petioles to 3 mm and blades up to 30 × 25 mm (1.5 – 1.8 times longer than wide), with a rounded apex, while the Brazilian E. umbellata has leaves with petioles to 10 mm and blades to 80 × 30 mm (2.3 – 3 times longer than wide), with an evidently acuminate apex.	en	Sobral, Marcos (2013): Eight New Atlantic Rainforest Species and Nomenclatural Notes in Brazilian Myrtaceae.
