61. Eugenia rhombea (O.Berg) Krug & Urban, Bot. Jahrb. Syst. View in CoL View at ENA 19: 644 (1895)

Basionym: Eugenia foetida var. rhombea O.Berg (1856: 212) View in CoL .

EOO: 1,139,836.067 km ². AOO: 236 km ². Evaluation of IUCN: Least concern.

Eugenia rhombea has a wide distribution in the American continent from Florida ( United States), Mexico to Venezuela, in addition to the Antilles ( WCSP, 2020). The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) and its area of occupancy (AOO) based on the habitat available, fairly exceeds the thresholds for a threatened category under the criterion B. Eighty collection records were found from Mexico to Nicaragua, mainly in regions with a hot climate and areas of Humid and Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest from 18 to 1,800 m elev. For this reason, Eugenia rhombea is classified as Least Concern (LC) (BGCI & IUCN 2019h).
