D52187E3AC0D5228FF3BFF51CEE885BF.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — Eugenia amorimii is so far known from only two collections in the Duas Bocas Biological Reserve, that consists of 2,910 ha of Atlantic rainforest in the central part of Espírito Santo (Fig. 3). This species may also be found in other forest fragments around this Reserve, in the bordering municipalities of Cariacica, Viana, Santa Leopoldina, and Domingos Martins. The species has been collected at 600 – 700 m elev. These forest remnants are characterized by high species richness with several endemic species recently described for other plant families (Alves et al. 2002; Sousa 2004; Fiaschi & Pirani 2005; Fraga & Saavedra 2006; Camargo & Goldenberg 2011; Kollmann & Peixoto 2012).	en	Giaretta, Augusto, Fraga, Claudio Nicoletti De (2014): Two new Eugenia species (Myrtaceae) from the Brazilian Atlantic forest.

D52187E3AC0D5228FF3BFF51CEE885BF.taxon	conservation	Conservation: — This new species is endemic to just one locality in Espírito Santo, with populations of few scattered individuals in an area of less than 20 km 2. It is thus prone to the effects of stochastic events and its continued existence can't be assured. Although this locality is in a protected area, it has open boundaries and is prone to negative impacts from the nearby livestock-raising farms and coffee plantations with their use of agricultural pesticides and undisciplined management of natural resources. The new species thus falls under the category Vulnerable (VU D 2) of the IUCN Red List (IUCN 2013) of endangered plant species.	en	Giaretta, Augusto, Fraga, Claudio Nicoletti De (2014): Two new Eugenia species (Myrtaceae) from the Brazilian Atlantic forest.

D52187E3AC08522FFF3BFF14CEE88191.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat: — Eugenia sobraliana is known so far from only two collections in the Environmental Protection Area of Pedra do Elefante, in the municipality of Nova Venécia, Espírito Santo (Fig. 3) and is seemingly restricted to inselbergs covered in dry seasonal forests, at elevations of c. 150 to 360 m elev. The region is characterized by granitic and gneissic inselbergs that are frequently dome-shaped and rise more or less abruptly above the surrounding landscape and delimited by the border of the tropical semideciduous forest. The inselbergs of southeastern Brazil have been recognized as one of the three top hotspots of the inselberg plant diversity, by their species richness and the high level of endemism (Porembski 2007). Several endemic species of other plant families have been recently described for these dry seasonal forest remnants (Versieux & Wanderley 2010; Leme et al. 2010; Goldenberg et al. 2012).	en	Giaretta, Augusto, Fraga, Claudio Nicoletti De (2014): Two new Eugenia species (Myrtaceae) from the Brazilian Atlantic forest.
