Leaf concolorous, chartaceous, blade 0.5–1.6 × 0.1–0.5 cm, narrowly elliptic or oblanceolate, apex acute, obtuse or rounded, base narrowly cuneate or cuneate, margin revolute at the base, secondary veins ca. 1 mm apart, held at an angle of 45 o relative to the midvein, marginal vein 0.2 mm from the margin, tertiary veins inconspicuous; immature adaxial surface with scattered trichomes, glabrous at maturity, midvein flat along the entire length, secondary veins inconspicuous, pellucid dots conspicuous, more than 15 per mm 2; immature abaxial surface puberulent or with scattered trichomes, glabrescent to glabrous at maturity, midvein prominent, secondary veins inconspicuous (sometimes slightly prominent), pellucid dots conspicuous, more than 15 per mm 2; petiole 1–3 × 1 mm, canaliculate to semicylindrical, puberulent or with scattered trichomes when immature, glabrous at maturity. Panicle 1–2 × 1–2 cm, umbelliform, terminal axillary or subterminal, 10–25 flowers, rachis puberulent, 1–2 branching at the base (sometimes with a central vegetative branch), first internode of central rachis 1 mm wide, flattened, distal internodes flattened, opposite branching, three times per node, epidermal protrusion in the node usually present. Bract 1.2–2.4 × 0.4–0.6 mm, deciduous, lanceolate or ovate, concave, apex acuminate, base truncate, adaxial and abaxial surfaces puberulent. Pedicel 0–0.6 mm long, cylindrical, puberulent. Bracteole 1.2 × 0.4 mm, deciduous, lanceolate, concave, apex acuminate, base truncate, adaxial and abaxial surfaces puberulent. Floral bud 2 × 1 mm, turbinate. Hypanthium extending 0.6–0.8 mm above the summit of the ovary, not tearing at anthesis, externally pubescent or puberulent, glabrescent towards the apex, conspicuous pellucid dots covering the whole surface, internally glabrous; calyx 4–5-merous, lobes 0.6–1.0 × 0.6–1.0 mm, distinct from the hypanthium, external ones smaller than the internal ones, deciduous, depressed ovate, widely depressed ovate or ovate, concave, apex acute, obtuse or rounded, base truncate, externally puberulent, internally puberulent; corolla 4–5-merous, petal white, 0.8–1.6 × 1.0– 1.4 mm, very widely ovate, concave, apex rounded, base truncate, externally puberulent to glabrous, internally puberulent to glabrous; staminal ring 0.2 mm, glabrous (rarely with scattered trichomes), stamens ca. 32, filament 1.8–3.2 mm long, glabrous, anther 0.24–0.32 × 0.24–0.32 mm, square, oblong or transversely oblong; ovary 0.6–0.8 × 0.8 mm, 2-locular, each locule with two ovules, style 3.8 mm long, glabrous, stigma punctiform, papillose. Fruit green when immature, reddish to vinaceous at maturity, 4–5 × 4–6 mm, depressed globose or globose, glabrescent to glabrous, pellucid dots covering the whole surface, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–2 (rarely 5).</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:—This species is known only from the municipality of Mucugê:in the “Parque Municipal de Mucugê” (a Protected Area) and the Serra de São Pedro. It occurs on rock outcrops close to watercourses.</p> <p>Phenology:—The species was collected with flowers in December and February and with fruits in January and February.</p> <p>Etymology:—The specific epithet refers to the vegetative branching pattern in which numerous long, slender lateral branches are almost all held nearly upright.</p> <p>Conservation status:— Myrcia ascendens is just found in two localities close to the city of Mucugê, in Campo Rupestre vegetation (“Rocky Fields”). This type of vegetation is commonly subjected to anthropogenic fire (Drummond et al. 2005). On account of this, and due to the restricted distribution of the species, we consider it as Critically Endangered (CR, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia ascendens shares with Myrcia densa monopodial branching, keeled immature branches and inflorescences branching only once or twice at the base. The former species differs in its vegetative branching (slender lateral branches inclined almost vertically), cataphyll scars rarely present (indicating almost continuous growth), shorter internodes and a shorter distance between the lateral veins and from the marginal vein to the margin. Other characteristics of M. ascendens show some overlap with M. densa but are still useful in its identification. These include narrow elliptic or oblanceolate leaf blades and the umbelliform inflorescence. Five seeds were found in a dissected fruit indicating that, at least occasionally, the species can have five ovules in the ovary.</p> <p>Paratypes:— BRAZIL. Bahia: Mun.

Fruit green when immature, mature fruit not seen, 6–8 × 7 mm, depressed globose or globose, base attenuate, glabrescent to glabrous, pellucid dots covering the whole surface, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds not seen.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia attenuata occurs in rainforest in the eastern Guiana Shield (French Guiana). The three known records of the species indicate a relatively wide distribution in the region, as they come from the south, east and central part of French Guiana. The species is likely to also occur in Brazil, as one of the records (Oldeman T-650) was made close to the border of Brazil and French Guiana.</p> <p>Phenology:—The species flowers in February and presents fruits from April to May.</p> <p>Etymology:—The specific epithet refers to the fruit with an attenuate base, a very rare condition in the clade 7 (Lucas et al. 2011), to which this species belongs.</p> <p>Conservation status:—The species probably has a wider distribution than the three known records (see discussion above). More data is required on which to base a precise category, so we consider this species as “Data Deficient” (DD; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia attenuata was not included in the phylogenetic study of the clade 7 (Santos 2014), but it bears many diagnostic characters of the group: sympodial branching, presence of cataphylls, inflorescences sympodially branching at the base, the hypanthium not tearing after anthesis and free and deciduous calyx lobes. This species is morphologically similar to Myrcia bicolor differing as stated above by its keeled branches, mixed terminal and subterminal inflorescences, turbinate flower buds and fruit with attenuate base. The small number of collections does not allow confirming the typical branching pattern of M. attenuata (monopodial or sympodial). The label of the type collection cites duplicates at the herbaria MG, NY and P, however these were not located within these collections.</p> <p>Paratypes:— FRENCH GUIANA.

Myrcia costeira occurs from the central coast of São Paulo state to the northern coast of Rio Grande do Sul state.</p> <p>Phenology:—The flowering of Myrcia costeira is from October to December. It presents fruits from November to February, from April to June and in September.</p> <p>Etymology:—The epithet refers to the distribution of Myrcia costeira, which occurs in coastal forests, sometimes called “mata costeira” in Portuguese.</p> <p>Conservation status:— Myrcia costeira is restricted to coastal areas under strong pressure from urbanization. Moreover, the species has an area of occupancy smaller than 2,000 km 2 and is just recorded from protected areas in São Paulo state. Myrcia costeira is therefore classified as Vulnerable (VU, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia costeira has flattened and keeled immature twigs that resemble those of Myrcia bicarinata, a species within which it was previously treated (e.g., Legrand 1961). As described above, M. costeira differs from M. bicarinata in the presence of cataphyll scars at all internodes, usually smaller blades, usually inconspicuous venation on the abaxial surface and, especially, the inflorescence with 3-flowered terminal dichasia. The two species have distinct habitat and distribution patterns. Myrcia costeira is found in forests in restinga from São Paulo state to Rio Grande do Sul, while M. bicarinata occurs in inland semideciduous forest in central-southeastern Brazil (including Distrito Federal, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and São Paulo states—never in coastal areas).</p> <p>Paratypes:— BRAZIL.

Fruit green to yellowish when immature, mature fruit not seen, 5 × 5 mm, globose, glabrescent to glabrous, pellucid dots covering the whole surface, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–2.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:—The species occurs in Campo Rupestre vegetation between 700–1300 m elevation, in the northern part of the Espinhaço range in Minas Gerais state. Myrcia rupestris inhabits fissures in rocks or patches of sandy soil in rocky outcrops.</p> <p>Phenology:— Myrcia rupestris was collected with flowers from February to April and from September to November, with the strongest flowering in February. Fruits were seen from May to July and in February, September and November.</p> <p>Etymology:—The specific epithet refers to the habitat of this species. Myrcia rupestris is found exclusively on rocky outcrops in the northern portion of the Espinhaço Range in the Minas Gerais state.</p> <p>Conservation status:— Myrcia rupestris is endemic to the northern part of the Espinhaço range in Minas Gerais state, occupying an area smaller than 500 km 2. Unlike the southern part, the northern Espinhaço range does not contain an extensive area of Campo Rupestre habitat, but disjunct areas within it (Saadi 1995). Campo Rupestre is commonly used for grazing or affected by anthropogenic fire (Drummond et al. 2005) leading us to classify Myrcia rupestris as Endangered (EN, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:—Specimens of Myrcia rupestris have commonly been identified as Myrcia lenheirensis [e.g., Kawasaki 2004, under the homotypic synonym Marlierea angustifolia (Berg 1857: 143) Mattos (1967: 333)]. However, beyond the characters described in the diagnosis, the species have distinctive distribution, as M. lenheirensis is just found in eastern São Paulo, southeastern Minas Gerais and southern Espírito Santo states (Santos 2014). Myrcia rupestris also resembles Myrcia subavenia (Berg 1857: 69) Silveira (1985: 66), but differs in not possessing keeled immature branches and having smaller leaves.</p> <p>Paratypes:— BRAZIL.

Leaf discolorous, chartaceous, blade 5.0–14.5 × 1.4–5.9 cm, elliptic, widely elliptic, ovate or obovate, apex caudate, base atenuate, cuneate or obtuse, margin plane, secondary veins 3–6 mm apart, held at an angle of 65–85 o relative to the midvein, marginal vein 1.0– 1.5 mm from the margin (rarely two), tertiary veins conspicuous (rarely inconspicuous); adaxial surface glabrous, midvein sulcate in the first half and flat in the second half, secondary veins flat (rarely prominent), pellucid dots inconspicuous, from 5 to 15 per mm 2; immature abaxial surface with scattered trichomes to glabrous, glabrous at maturity, midvein and secondary veins prominent, pellucid dots slightly conspicuous to inconspicuous, from 5 to 15 per mm 2; petiole 3–10 × 1–2 mm, canaliculate to semicylindrical, immature with scattered trichomes, mature glabrous. Panicle 3.5–7.0 × 2.5–3.5 cm, pyramidal, terminal axillary or subterminal, 14–70 flowers, rachis puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous, branching 1–5 times at the base, first internode of central rachis 1.0– 1.5 mm wide, cylindrical to flattened, distal internodes flattened, opposite branching (rarely subopposite), 2–5 branches per node, epidermal protrusion present at the internodes, usually absent in apical branches. Bract 0.8 × 0.2 mm, deciduous, lanceolate or ovate, concave, apex acuminate, base truncate, adaxial surface glabrous, abaxial surface puberulent. Pedicel 0–2 mm long, cylindrical, puberulent. Bracteole 0.4–0.6 × 0.2 mm, deciduous, lanceolate or ovate, concave, apex acuminate, base truncate, adaxial surface glabrous, abaxial surface puberulent to glabrous.
