Description
Myrtaceae
The checklist of Myrtaceae of Boyacá includes 24 species; this represents an increase of 8 species (35 %) for the department since the CPLC (2016). Three further genera, Acca, Corymbia and Eucalyptus have been recorded, although these are all introduced taxa (Table 2). Six new native species have been added: Eugenia coffeifolia, E. linaresii, E. punicifolia, Myrcia bracteata, M. paivae and Myrcianthes myrsinoides. Of these supplements, the only species added from field collections is Eugenia coffeifolia, collected sterile during the project expedition. Until now, this distinctive species, widespread in Amazon forest has only been registered in northwestern South America by Ecuadorian specimens deposited at the Field Museum herbarium.
