Calyptranthes santalucia Sobral,  sp. nov.</p><p>Type:—   BRAZIL. Espírito Santo: mun. Santa Teresa,  Estação Biológica de Santa Lúcia, 2 Mar. 1993, L.D. Thomaz 1113 (holotype MBML ,  isotypes HRCB,  HUFSJ).</p><p>Figure 1.</p><p>This species is related to  Calyptranthes brasiliensis, being distinguished by the smaller petioles, the uniformly ferruginous indumentum of the blades, the acuminate leaf tips, and the unbranched triflorous inflorescences.</p><p>Tree to 16 m. Twigs grey, smooth, when young sometimes dichotomously branching and densely covered by appressed, brown dibrachiate trichomes up to 0.5 mm; internodes 25–35 × 2–2.5 mm. Leaves with petioles 7.5–11 × 1.5–2 mm, adaxially sulcate, pilose as the twigs and glabrescent with age; blades elliptic to ellipticlanceolate, 60–87 × 20–45 mm, 1.7–3 times longer than wide, strongly discolorous when dry, the adaxial side dull green, glabrous or with very scattered dibrachiate trichomes to 0.4 mm, the abaxial side ferruginous, brown or light brown with age, densely and uniformly covered with a mixture of two types of dibrachiate trichomes, one strongly asymmetrical and 0.4–0.5 mm and other more or less symmetrical, 0.1–0.2 mm, the indumentum becoming lighter with age; glandular dots visible adaxially, smaller than 0.1 mm in diameter and up to 50 per square milmeter; apex acuminate to 7–10 mm; base cuneate or obtuse; midvein sulcate adaxially and strongly raised abaxially; lateral veins 10 to 20 on each side, leaving the midvein at angles of about 70 degrees, visible and moderately prominent on both sides, sometimes secondary lateral veins visible; marginal veins one or sometimes two, 2–3.5 mm and 0.7–0.8 mm from the margin respectively, the margin itself revolute and sometimes with a yellow thickening to 0.2 mm wide. Inflorescences axillary, capitate, the axis 3– 12 × 0.8–1 mm, with one to three crowded flowers at its apex, densely covered with trichomes as the twigs; bracts not seen; flowers sessile; bracteoles not seen; flower buds not seen; calyx densely and uniformly covered with dibrachiate brown trichomes to 0.2 mm; calyptra not seen; petals not seen; stamens to 3 mm, the anthers globose, to 0.2 × 0.2 mm, with one apical gland; staminal ring to 1.2 mm wide, glabrous; calyx tube 1.5–2 mm deep, glabrous internally; style to 4 mm, glabrous, the stigma slightly capitate and minutely papillose; ovary bilocular, with two ovules per locule. Fruits immature, globose, to 7 mm in diameter, with the calyx tube persisting at its apex; seeds one or two.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 &amp; 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 &amp; Padovan 2000), allows the application of IUCN criteria B1 ab(iii) for the Endangered (EN) category (IUCN 2001), since the extension area of the species is smaller than 5000 km 2 (criterion B1), it grows in a severely fragmented (criterion a) which presents a constant decline of its extent (criterion b(iii)).</p><p>Affinities:—apparently related to  Calyptranthes brasiliensis Sprengel (for description see Berg 1857– 1859, Lourenço &amp; 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.</p><p>Etymology:—the epithet was chosen after the type locality, the Santa Lúcia reserve.</p><p>Paratype:— BRAZIL.

Twigs glabrous, grey or brown, somewhat applanate, the internodes 12–35 × 1.2–2 mm. Leaves glabrous; petioles 5–7 × 0.6–0.9 mm, drying dark, adaxially flat; blades elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, 62–76 × 24–27 mm, 2.6–2.8 times longer than wide, drying dark, slightly discolorous when dry, with glandular dots about 0.1 mm in diameter and about 15 per square milimeter, somewhat excavated adaxially and slightly raised abaxially; apex acute to acuminate 4–6 mm; base cuneate; midvein plain or moderately biconvex adaxially, raised abaxially; lateral veins 15 to 18 at each side, moderately raised on both sides, a little more so abaxially, leaving the midvein at angles of 60–70 degrees; marginal vein 1–1.2 mm from the margin, sometimes a second one to 0.2 mm from the margin. Inflorescences axillary, racemiform, with 2 to 6 flowers, the axis 3–5 × 1 mm, with brown simple hairs to 0.2 mm; bracts hemispheric, to 1 × 1 mm, mostly deciduous at anthesis; pedicels 4– 22 × 0.7–2 mm, applanate, with trichomes as the axes; bracteoles widely elliptic, acuminate, 1.5–3 × 1.5–3 mm, sometimes basally connate, with brown trichomes to 0.1 mm abaxially; flower buds globose to obovate, 8–11 × 6–9 mm, rufescent, densely and uniformly puberulous, covered with trichomes to 0.2 mm; calyx lobes four, unequal, the outer ones widely ovate, 4–5 × 4–7 mm, the inner ones ovate-oblong, 7–8 × 6 mm, pilose on both sides; petals four, glabrous, widely elliptic or ovate, 10–11 × 6–8 mm, densely glandulose; stamens about 300, 10– 11 mm, the anthers subglobose, 0.5 × 0.3–0.4 mm, with one apical gland; staminal ring subquadrate, 4–5 mm in diameter, with sparse grey simple trichomes to 0.2 mm; style glabrous, 11–12 mm, the stigma slightly capitate and papillose; ovary with two locules and about 18 ovules per locule. Fruits not seen.</p><p>Distribution, habitat and phenology:—  Eugenia barrana was collected in two areas of Atlantic rainforest in eastern Minas Gerais (Santa Maria do Salto, about 770 m elev.) and in southern Bahia (Prado, at elevations near the sea level); flowers were collected in November and February.</p><p>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.</p><p>Vernacular name:—"murta branca", according to the label of Monteiro 23608.</p><p>Affinities:—apparently related to  Eugenia chlorophylla O.Berg (for description see Berg 1857–1859 or Sobral 2011), from which it is distinguished by the following characters:</p><p>1.

Eugenia chlorophylla</p><p>—. Leaves drying brown, petioles 5-– 7 mm, adaxially flat or slightly sulcate, more than ten times shorter than the blades, these 62–76 × 24–27 mm, 2.6–2.8 times longer than wide, the margin plain and not girdled; lateral veins 15 to 18; flower buds to 11 × 9; calyx lobes unequal, the outer ones to 5 × 7 mm, the inner ones to 8 × 6 mm. ............... ............................................................................................................................................................  Eugenia barrana</p><p>Additionally, this species can also be confounded with  Eugenia schottiana O.Berg (for description see Berg 1857–1859), an eastern Brazilian species with similar flower morphology, but in  E. schottiana the blades are obovate, the midvein is markedly raised adaxially and the inflorescences are ramiflorous and glomeruliform, without any visible axis.</p><p>Etymology:—the epithet is derived from the type locality, Fazenda Duas Barras.</p><p>Paratype:— BRAZIL.

Twigs complanate, glabrous, longitudinally striate, the internodes 18–55 × 3–4 mm. Leaves with petioles 2–5 × 1.5–2 mm, canaliculate; blades elliptic or ovate-elliptic, 100–160 × 50–70 mm, 2–2.3 times longer than wide, glabrous, discolorous when dry, dark green, sometimes shiny, adaxially and dull light green abaxially; glandular dots scarcely visible, smaller than 0.1 mm in diameter and 30 to 40 per square milimeter; apex acuminate in 10–15 mm; base widely cuneate to obtuse, sometimes slightly cordiform; midvein strongly sulcate adaxially and strongly prominent abaxially; lateral veins 10 to 14 at each side, adaxially sulcate and abaxially markedly prominent, leaving the midvein at angles 70 to 80 degrees; marginal veins two to three, the inner one 6–8 mm, the medial one 1.5–2.5 mm and the outer one 0.5–0.7 from the revolute margin. Inflorescences ramiflorous or occasionally axillary, umbelliform, the axis 3–4 × 1 mm, glabrous, with up to eight flowers; bracts lanceolate, to 1 × 0.5 mm, with scattered simple white trichomes to 0.1 mm; pedicels 14– 20 × 0.6–1 mm, with simple erect trichomes to 0.1 mm; bracteoles narrowly lanceolate, 2.7–3 × 1 mm, concave, with trichomes as the pedicels, deciduous before anthesis; flower buds obovate, 9–12 × 8–9 mm, the calyx and ovary uniformly covered by simple grey trichomes 0.1 mm, the globe of petals visible above the calyx lobes, these four, ovate or hemispheric, pilose on both sides, subequal, 4–6 × 4–8 mm; petals four, elliptic or spathulate, concave, to 10 × 8 mm, adaxially glabrous and abaxially sericeous, covered with simple trichomes to 0.1 mm; stamens about 200, 8– 9 mm, the anthers elliptic, 1 × 0.7–0.8 mm, eglandular; staminal ring subquadrate, 6–7 mm in diameter, with simple trichomes smaller than 0.1 mm; style 10–11 mm, the stigma slightly capitate, papillose; ovary with two locules and about 20 centrally attached ovules per locule. Fruits globose, about 35 mm in diameter, with one globose seed 20–25 mm in diameter, the testa not adhered to the endocarp, light brown and easily detachable, the embryo with cotyledons strongly coalesced but evidently distinct between them when the seed is sectioned longitudinally, without a visible hypocotyl.</p><p>Distribution, habitat and phenology:—  Eugenia culicina was collected in Atlantic Rainforest remnants of the northeastern state of Pernambuco, at 700–900 m elev.; these remnants are locally known as "brejos de altitude" (i.e., highland swamps), and consist of rainforest landscapes scattered along drier landscapes with lower altitudes. Flowers were collected in April and fruits in January.</p><p>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).</p><p>Affinities:—this species is apparently related to  Eugenia roseiflora McVaugh (for description see McVaugh 1969), from which it can be distinguished by the following characters:</p><p>1. Leaves with petioles to 10 mm, the blade / petiole proportion about 13:1; blades with lateral veins raised adaxially; secondary lateral veins visible and slightly thinner than the main lateral ones; calyx and ovary glabrous; fruits to 10 mm in diameter. ..............................................................................................................................  Eugenia roseiflora</p><p>—. Leaves with petioles to 5 mm, the blade / petiole proportion higher than 30:1; blades with lateral veins sulcate adaxially; secondary lateral veins scarcely visible and evidently smaller in gauge than the main lateral ones; calyx and ovary pilose; fruits to 35 mm in diameter. .........................................................................................  Eugenia culicina Etymology:—the epithet is derived from the Latin word for mosquito – "culex", allusive to the place of collection of the type, Mata do Mosquito ("mosquito forest").</p><p>Paratype:— BRAZIL.

Twigs glabrous, grey, internodes 25–35 × 3–5 mm, complanate. Leaves with petioles 5–10 × 1.5– 2.5 mm, adaxially flat, dark when dry; blades elliptic to widely lanceolate, 82–160 × 42–73 mm, 1.7–2.4 times longer than wide, slightly discoloured when dry, dark brown or dull dark green, with glandular dots up to 0.1 mm in diameter and about 20 per square milimeter, visible through light, occasionally somewhat raised on both sides; apex widely acute, sometimes the tip wrinkled when dry; base cuneate, decurrent along the petiole; midvein plain to moderately raised adaxially, strongly raised abaxially at least along the proximal half and sometimes lighter than the surface; lateral veins 14 to 17 at each side, moderately raised on both sides, a little more so abaxially, leaving the midvein at angles of 60–80 degrees; marginal veins two, the inner one 2.5–6 mm and the outer one 1–2 mm from the margin, the margin itself revolute. Inflorescences axillary and ramiflorous, racemiform, when ramiflorous with up to four axes arising per node, the axis 3–6 × 2 mm, with up to 14 decussate pairs of densely imbricate hemispheric, thick and somewhat lignified bracts 0.4–0.5 × 1 mm, with up to four flowers per axis; pedicels 2–3 × 0.5–0.9 mm, in fruiting specimens to 5 mm long, strongly complanate, with sparse simple glistening trichomes to 0.1 mm; bracteoles triangular, 0.5–1.1 × 1 mm, abaxially with scattered trichomes as the pedicels; flower buds not seen; calyx lobes four, widely ovate, unequal, the external ones to 1 × 1.5 mm, the internal ones to 1.5 × 2 mm; stamens and petals not seen; staminal ring round to subquadrate, 1.5–2 mm in diameter, with brown simples trichomes 0.1–0.2 mm, staminal scars about 60; style to 4 mm, stigma punctiform; ovary glabrous, bilocular with 10 to 13 ovules per locule. Fruits globose or subglobose, red when ripe, 6–9 mm in diameter, crowned by the calyx-lobes, the staminal ring somewhat excavated and simulating a calyx tube; seed one per fruit, subglobose, the testa light brown, not adhering to the endocarp and easily detachable from the embryo, this with fused and undistinguishable cotyledons and no sign of hypocotyl.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 &amp; 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 B1, IUCN 2001), it exists at no more than 10 locations (criterion B1a), and there is a continuing decline in the quality of its habitat (criterion B1b(iii)) since southern Bahia has been severely deforested and is suffering intense anthropic interference.</p><p>Affinities:—this species is related to  Eugenia platyphylla O.Berg (for description see Berg 1857–1859), also collected in Bahia, from which it is distinguished by the following characters:</p><p>1. Petioles to 6 mm; blades with midvein strongly prominent on both sides; inflorescence axis less than 3 mm, with triangular bracts, these mostly chartaceous and deciduous, not decussate along the axis; pedicels 6–14 mm. ................. .......................................................................................................................................................

Eugenia lacistema Etymology:—the epithet is allusive to the resemblance of the inflorescences to those of the genus Lacistema Swartz (Swartz 1788) from the  Salicaceae, due to its densely imbricate bracts.</p><p>Paratypes:— BRAZIL.

Twigs glabrous, slightly complanate, grey when dry, the internodes 10–25 mm × 1–2 mm. Leaves with petioles 2–3 × 1–1.8 mm, adaxially plain, sometimes abaxially darker; blades elliptic to rounded, 35–52 × 21–33 mm, 1.4–1.7 times longer than wide, discoloured when dry, dark brown and sometimes vernicose adaxially and light brown abaxially, chartaceous or leathery, both surfaces densely covered with slightly prominent glandular dots, these smaller than 0.1 mm in diameter and 20 to 30 per square milimeter; apex obtuse or rounded; base obtuse, slightly decurrent along the petiole; midvein plain or somewhat raised on both sides, lighter than the rest of the surface abaxially; lateral veins 7 to 10 on each side, leaving the midvein at angles between 70 –80 degrees, weakly visible and sometimes faintly raised on both sides; marginal vein 1–2.5 mm from the margin, the margin itself revolute and with a subtle brown girdle to 0.2 mm wide. Inflorescences mostly ramiflorous, some axillary, glabrous, racemiform, the ramiflorous ones with up to four axes arising from the same node; axes 1–5 × 0.5–0.6 mm; bracts hemispheric, to 0.5 × 0.5 mm, densely crowded along the proximal half of the axis in up to ten pairs, generally with up to four flowers on the distal part of it, but sometimes also along the proximal part; terminal apical flower occasionally present. Flowers glabrous, the pedicels 1–1.5 × 0.3 mm, bracteoles triangular, to 0.7 × 0.5, sometimes basally fused and partially clasping the ovary in young flowers; flower buds globose, 2–2.8 × 2–2.5 mm, the globe of petals visible above the calyx lobes, these four, slightly unequal in size, widely triangular, 0.4–0.5 × 0.8–1 mm; petals rounded, glabrous, to 3× 3 mm; stamens about 40, 4– 5 mm, the anthers subglobose, 0.5 × 0.3 mm, with one apical gland; style 5 mm, the stigma punctiform; ovary bilocular, with 10 to 11 ovules per locule. Fruits not seen.</p><p>Distribution, habitat and phenology:—presently known only from the type material, collected in the central portion of the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, where it was collected in semideciduous forests; flowers were observed in March.</p><p>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).</p><p>Affinities:—this species is apparently related to the widespread  Eugenia ellipsoidea Kiaerskou (for description see Kiaerskou 1893; see also note on lectotypification in this paper), from which it is distinguished by the characters in the following couplet:</p><p>1. Blades 18–45 × 6–20 mm, 2.3–2.5 times longer than wide, with lateral veins visible on both sides; inflorescences with internodes visible and never concealed by bracts; pedicels 5–9 mm .....................................  Eugenia ellipsoidea</p><p>—. Blades 35–52 × 21–33 mm, 1.4–1.7 times longer than wide, with lateral veins visible on both sides; inflorescences with internodes concealed by the densely imbricate bracts; pedicels 1–1.5 mm ...............................  Eugenia viscacea</p><p>Etymology:—the epithet is allusive to the resemblance of the leaves of this species with those of species of  Phoradendron (Viscaceae); additionally, the young inflorescences also resemble, due to the densely imbricate bracts, inflorescences of  Phoradendron .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AC8791FF91FFDCFF520F120D46FF30	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Twigs applanate, with simple grey trichomes to 0.2 mm at the apical gems, these black when dry; internodes 10–30 × 5–8 mm, with transverse interpetiolar scars, these with linear or acicular colleters 2–3 × 0.2 mm. Leaves sessile or with petioles to 1 × 3 mm; blades elliptic or ovate-elliptic, 70–125 × 40–60 mm, 1.5–1.8 times longer than wide, glabrous, sometimes discolorous when dry, with 5 to 10 glandular dots per square milimeter, these about 0.1 mm in diameter, visible abaxially; apex rounded or acute; base rounded or cordiform; midvein sometimes darker than the rest of the blade, adaxially sulcate and abaxially prominent; lateral veins 8 to 11 on each side, slightly to markedly prominent on both sides, leaving the midvein at angles 80–90 degrees; marginal veins two, 3–4.5 mm and 0.8–1.6 mm from the margin respectively, the margin itself revolute. Inflorescences axillary, paniculiform, with 7 to 20 flowers, the main axis 65–85 × 3 mm, with one or two branchings; pedicels absent or up to 1 × 1 mm; bracteoles not seen, probably deciduous before anthesis; flower buds obovate, to 6 × 4 mm, the ovary densely covered by grey appressed trichomes to 0.1 mm, markedly distinct from the five calyx lobes, these glabrous or much more sparsely pilose, hemispheric and somewhat unequal in size, 2.3–3 × 3–4 mm; petals and stamens not seen; staminal ring 3–4 mm in diameter; style not seen; calyx tube up to 2 mm deep; ovary with two locules and two ovules per locule.

Twigs grey, with simple grey trichomes 0.2–0.3 mm, curled upwards, the internodes 15–25 × 1– 1.5 mm, sometimes their bases bearing four to six series of imbricate cataphylls, the proximal ones triangular, to 1 × 1 mm, and the distal ones linear, to 6 × 1.5 mm. Leaves with petioles glabrous or with trichomes as the twigs, canaliculate, 4–10 × 0.8–1 mm; blades lanceolate, oblong or ovate–oblong, 55–130 × 18–47 mm, 2.3– 3.3 times longer than wide, concolorous or slightly discolorous, brown or olive green when dried, glabrous except for the midvein; glandular dots visible only against light, smaller than 0.05 mm in diameter and 20–25 per square milimeter; apex acuminate and mucronate; base widely cuneate; midvein sulcate and densely covered with grey simple trichomes to 0.3 mm adaxially, prominent and with trichomes to 0.3 mm abaxially; lateral veins 15 to 20 at each side, ascendent, leaving the midvein at angles of about 70 degrees, adaxially sulcate along half of its length and then markedly diminishing in gauge, becoming plane and apparently vanishing distally, abaxially prominent along about half of its length and then also becoming plane and vanishing, occasionally with scattered trichomes as the midvein; marginal vein 0.5–1 mm from the margin. Inflorescences glomerulate, mostly ramiflorous, sometimes axillary, with up to four sessile flowers; bracteoles sometimes fused when young, widely triangular, glabrous, to 1 × 1 mm; flower buds globose, to 1.5 mm in diameter; calyx glabrous, with four lobes, more or less unequal between them, the external ones hemispherical, to 0.4 × 0.8 mm, the internal ones ovate to elliptic, to 0.8 × 1.5 mm; petals spathulate, 1–1.5 × 0.9–1 mm, with some glands and cilia up to 0.1 mm; stamens about 50, to 4 mm long, the anthers elliptic, to 0.3 × 0.1–0.2 mm, eglandular; staminal ring 0.8–1 mm wide; calyx tube 0.2–0.3 mm deep, deciduous after anthesis; style to 5 mm, with scattered simple trichomes to 0.1 mm along the proximal half, the stigma slightly capitate and papillose; ovary with two locules and two or sometimes three centrally attached ovules per locule. Fruits (immature) globose, to 10 mm in diameter.</p><p>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.

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.

(2012) includes  E. umbellata Spreng. in the synonymy of  E. erythrocarpa (Kunth) De Candolle); nevertheless,  Eugenia erythrocarpa, presently known from Colombia (type: Humboldt &amp; Bonpland s.n., P; http://dsiphoto.mnhn.fr/sonnera2/LAPI/leafS/S20120604/P00679478.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.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AC8791FF89FFC6FF520FEE0D99FABC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
