Description

6. Eugenia florida De Candolle (1828: 283).

Type:— BRAZIL. Amazonas: in Brasilia ad ripam flum. Amazonum, s.d., Martius s.n. (holotype M).

Eugenia oligoneura O. Berg (1857: 321). Type:— PERU. Maynas: Muniches, March, Poeppig 2353 (syntype B†; lectotype W!, designated here; isolectotypes F!, G!).

Eugenia coloradoensis Standley (1937: 27). Type:— PANAMA. Barro Colorado Island, shores of Gatún Lake S of the laboratory, 28 Aug 1929, W. N. Bangham 445 (holotype F!). [Nom. nov. of Eugenia melanosticta Standley (1930: 126), non Eugenia melanosticta (Miquel, 1855: 432) Koorders & Valenton (1900: 159)] Syn. nov.

Note:—Barrie (2009), in Flora Mesoamericana, referred Eugenia coloradoensis as different of E. florida, using characters that we believe are circunscribed under the variation of E. florida (e.g. dimensions of the pedicels, fruits and number of stamens, Mazine in prep.). Therefore, Eugenia coloradoensis should be recognized as a synonym of E. florida.

Distribution:—One of the most common species of the section, Eugenia florida is broadly distributed in Neotropical region. Plates of Eugenia florida can be observed in Bünger et al. (2012), Holst et al. (2003), Lorenzi et al. (2006), Lorenzi (1998), Moraes & Lombardi (2006), Pott & Pott (1994) and Romagnolo & Souza (2006).
