(2015a), Myrcia ascendens shares monopodial branching with Myrcia densa (Figure 4F), also having keeled immature branches and inflorescences branching only once or twice at the base. Myrcia ascendens differs in its slender lateral branches inclined almost vertically (vs. thicker branches with inclination variable; Figure 2H), cataphyll scars rarely present (vs. present at least at the basal internode of the new branch; Figure 4C), internodes 0.2–1.0 cm long (vs. 0.5–4.5 cm), lateral veins 1 mm apart (vs. 1–3 mm) and marginal vein 0.2 mm from the margin (vs. 5–10 mm) (Santos et al. 2015a). Narrow elliptic or oblanceolate leaf blades and umbelliform inflorescence are also typical of M. ascendens, although some overlap with M. densa (Santos et al. 2015a).</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Santos et al.

The species is considered Data Deficient (DD; IUCN 2001; Santos et al. 2015a).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia attenuata is morphologically similar to Myrcia bicolor differing by its keeled immature branches (vs. not keeled), mixed terminal and subterminal inflorescences (vs. only terminal inflorescences), turbinate floral buds (vs. clavate) and fruit with an attenuated base (vs. rounded base) (Santos et al. 2015a). The species was not included in the phylogenetic study of Myrcia sect. Sympodiomyrcia (Santos et al. 2016a), but bears all diagnostic characters of the group (Santos et al. 2015a).</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Santos et al.

Floral bud 2–4 × 1–2 mm, turbinate, sometimes with a small constriction above the bracteoles. Hypanthium 1.0– 1.2 mm extending above the summit of the ovary, not tearing at anthesis, externally glabrous (rarely with scattered trichomes), pellucid dots conspicuous, internally glabrous; calyx 4–5–merous, lobes 0.4–1.2 × 0.4–1.6 mm, distinct from the hypanthium, deciduous, depressed ovate to widely ovate, concave, apex obtuse or rounded, base truncate, externally with scattered trichomes to glabrous, internally puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous; corolla 4–6–merous, petals light brown to white, 1.0–1.6 × 1.4–2.0 mm, depressed ovate to very widely ovate or widely obovate, concave, apex rounded, base truncate, externally with scattered trichomes to glabrous, internally puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous; staminal ring 0.2 mm wide, glabrous, stamens 64–82, filament 2–4 mm long, glabrous, anther 0.16–0.32 × 0.16–0.40 mm, square, oblong or transversely oblong; ovary 0.8–1.2 × 0.8–1.6 mm, 2–locular, each locule with two ovules, style 4.8–6.4 mm long, glabrous, stigma punctiform, papillose. Fruit 5–7 × 7–8 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded, glabrous, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–3.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia bicarinata is found in submontane to montane semideciduous forest (Minas Gerais, Paraná and São Paulo states) and rainforest (Rio de Janeiro state) of Atlantic Forest domain, and in riparian forests of Cerrado domain (Distrito Federal) (Figure 14). It inhabits the forest understory along watercourses. Field work carried out in the municipality of Mogi-Guaçu (São Paulo) showed that the species can have high population density.</p> <p>Phenology:— The species flowers from August to November. Fruits were found in March, June and October (mature fruits in March).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The Extent of Occurrence (near 300,000 km 2) of Myrcia bicarinata does not reflect its real extension, because its distribution is restricted to riparian forest and records are sparse along the distribution perimeter. The area of occupancy (48 km 2) is likely closest to its real distribution. Species habitats have been severely fragmented, although riparian forests are fully protected under Brazilian Forest Code. Furthermore, recent changes in Brazilian Forest Code decreased the area of protected riparian forest. For these reasons, M. bicarinata is classified as Endangered (EN, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— The species is characterized by strongly flattened and keeled immature twigs, mainly monopodial vegetative branching, cataphyll scar present usually only at the basal internode of a new branch and terminal dichasia with aborted lateral flowers (Figure 6B). Immature inflorescences bear the small lateral bud flowers of the dichasium, which fall during inflorescence development. The protologue of Myrcia bicarinata indicates an ovary two or three locular (Berg 1857 –1859), but it was only found two locular ovary, which is the norm of the group.</p> <p>Sobral et al. (2015) considered Myrcia bicarinata as a synonym of Myrcia pulchra (= Myrcia subcordata), but diagnostic features of M. bicarinata are not found in M. subcordata (see identification key). Moreover, the species occurs in different habitats and localities (except in the municipality of Poços de Caldas– Minas Gerais state). Myrcia costeira is the most similar species to M. bicarinata but the later differs by the leaf size, the venation usually conspicuous on the abaxial surface of leaf blade and the corymbiform inflorescence with only the central flower of the terminal dichasia (see identification key). In addition, the species are found in different localities and habitats.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— None found.</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— BRAZIL.

Fruit green when immature, 6–13 × 6–13 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded, glabrescent to glabrous, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–3.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia bicolor occurs in lowland to high montane rainforest in the Atlantic Forest domain of southern Bahia and southeastern Brazil (Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo sates) (Figure 17). It usually inhabits forest understory.</p> <p>Phenology:— It flowers in January, June and September to November. Fruits are found from January to September and in December (mature fruits in July and September).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The species presents an extensive Extent of Occurrence (about 307,000 km 2), but its Area of Occupancy is small (60 km 2). It has been recorded from more than five locations, some of them in protected areas. However, it is endemic to the Atlantic Forest, which accounts only for 7.5 % of is original area (Myers et al. 2000), most of it severely fragmented. Due to the conflicting information, Myrcia bicolor is considered as Data Deficient (DD; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— The species is distinguished by the combination of: sympodial vegetative branching (Figure 5A); cataphyll scar present in all internodes; immature twig usually straw-like when dry, cylindrical and not keeled; obovate leaf blade (rarely elliptic), usually discolorous; and clavate floral bud (Figure 6E).</p> <p>There are specimens with intermediate morphology between Myrcia bicolor and Myrcia subcordata (e.g. Kummrow 2005 [SP]) in eastern Paraná state and in the municipality of Campos do Jordão (São Paulo state). These specimens are similar to M. bicolor in the leaf shape and the inconspicuous venation on the adaxial surface of leaf blade, but they differ in the non–straw-like immature twig and the turbinate floral bud. They were placed in M. subcordata because floral features in Myrcia sect. Sympodiomyrcia are more conservative than vegetative ones and some specimens show a clear transition to typical form of M. subcordata. This intermediate morphology may be an evidence of hybridization between the two species, but further studies are required to confirm it.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Kiaerskou (1893).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— BRAZIL.

Myrcia costeira is distributed from the North coast of Rio Grande do Sul state to the central coast of São Paulo state (Santos et al. 2015a) (Figure 14).</p> <p>Phenology:— Myrcia costeira flowers from October to December and fruits from November to February, from April to June and in August and September (mature fruits from April to June).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The Extent of Occurrence of Myrcia costeira is around 47,000 km 2, but the Area of Occupancy is small (52 km 2) and it is known to exist at about ten localities. The species occurs in coastal areas under strong anthropogenic impact and it is recorded from protected areas only in São Paulo state (Santos et al. 2015a). Based on this, we agree with the classification of M. costeira as Vulnerable (VU, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001) by Santos et al. (2015a).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia costeira is very similar to Myrcia bicarinata due to flattened and keeled immature twigs (Figures 3D, 3G) but differs in the presence of cataphyll scars at all internodes (vs. usually only at the basal internode of a new branch), leaf blades 2.1–5.4 cm long (vs. 4.5–9.4 cm long), venation usually inconspicuous on the abaxial surface (vs. usually conspicuous) and inflorescence with terminal dichasia bearing three flowers (vs. lateral flowers reduced) (Santos et al. 2015a). Furthermore, Myrcia costeira occurs in restinga forests from Rio Grande do Sul to São Paulo, while M. bicarinata is distributed in inland semideciduous forests in central-southeastern Brazil (Distrito Federal, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states; Santos et al. 2015a).

Fruit green when immature, mature fruit not seen, 21–26 × 25 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded, pubescent to glabrous, remnants of calyx lobes, stamens and style usually present; seed 1.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia insigniflora has a narrow distribution in rainforest (Atlantic Forest domain), being found in the municipalities of Ubatuba (São Paulo state), Paraty and southernmost Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro state) (Figure 28). The species shows high population density in Ubatuba. Myrcia insigniflora inhabits the forest understory close to the coastal line.</p> <p>The locality “ Serra da Estrella ” (part of the current Serra dos Órgãos, Rio de Janeiro state) is described in the labels of type materials (P and R herbaria), but none additional specimens from this region were found in herbarium collections and field work. The distribution of Myrcia insigniflora seems to be restricted to lowland areas and we deduced that the locality in the type label is probably wrong. It agrees with other mistakes that have been found in Glaziou’s collection (Rudd 1965, Wurdack 1970).</p> <p>Phenology:— Myrcia insigniflora flowers in January, March and December and fruits in June, July and December (mature fruits were not seen).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The species is restricted to coastal forest areas, which are under strong pressure from the real estate development. Furthermore, the Area of Occupancy is smaller than 24 km 2 and it is recorded from less than 5 localities (only one in a protected area, the State Park of the Serra do Mar). Thus, Myrcia insigniflora is considered Endangered (EN, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— The species has a peculiar morphology among the species of Myrcia sect. Sympodiomyrcia, due to the big leaves and flower features, which includes: obovate flower bud; hypanthium tearing at anthesis; calyx lobes almost indistinct from hypanthium tissue and persistent after anthesis; petals usually keeping totally adhered to each other and forming a pseudo-calyptra after anthesis; and stamens persistent (but dry) (Figures, 6F, 6H). The collection Peixoto 4177 (MO) has some flowers with a hypanthium that does not tear at the anthesis and calyx lobes distinct from the hypanthium tissue, showing transition to the typical flower morphology of the group. Beyond the flower features, Myrcia insigniflora has typical characters of M. sect. Sympodiomyrcia, as sympodial vegetative branching (Figure 4G), presence of cataphylls (in all internodes) and inflorescence with sympodial basal branching and opposite apical branching.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Kiaerskou (1893; as Marlierea glazioviana).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— BRAZIL.

It is found in the forest understory, forest edge and occasionally in open areas.</p> <p>Phenology:— Myrcia lenheirensis was collected with flowers from October to January and with fruits from March to November (mature fruits in June).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— Despite the relatively wide Extent of Occurrence (ca. 72,000 km 2), the Area of Occupancy of Myrcia lenheirensis is only 40 km 2 and the species is restricted to altitudes above 1000 m of elevation, uncommon along its distribution. Myrcia lenheirensis is known from less than ten localities (some in protected areas) and is endemic to the Atlantic Forest, of which only 7.5% of its original area remains (Myers et al. 2000).

Fruit green when immature, reddish to vinaceous at maturity, 5–12 × 5–12 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded, glabrescent to glabrous, calyx lobes remnants present or not; seeds 1–4.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia mutabilis occurs from the South of Minas Gerais to Pernambuco. The southernmost distribution of Myrcia mutabilis is in montane areas of southern and southeastern Minas Gerais (e.g. Serra da Mantiqueira, Serra de Tiradentes); to the west, it is found in the Serra da Canastra and Furnas region (Minas Gerais state), Distrito Federal and Chapada dos Veadeiros (Goiás state); the central and northern distribution is basically restricted to the Quadrilátero Ferrífero and Espinhaço Range, but there are also northern records from the Brejo da Madre de Deus (Pernambuco state). The eastern distribution is composed by scattered records in eastern Minas Gerais (municipality of Caratinga), montane areas of Espírito Santo (municipalities of Santa Teresa and Santa Leopoldina), and Serra das Lontras (Bahia state) (Figure 28).</p> <p>Myrcia mutabilis is found from 700 to 1700 m in different vegetation types, but mainly montane areas with open vegetation (Cerrado domain): campo or cerrado on Canga formation, carrasco, cerrado rupestre, quartzitic rocky outcrops, riparian forest and forest patches in open areas. There are also occasional records in the Atlantic Forest domain: low montane semideciduous forest (municipalities of Caratinga– Minas Gerais state, and Brejo da Madre de Deus– Pernambuco state), rainforest (Serra das Lontras – Bahia state) and inselbergs (Espírito Santo state).</p> <p>Phenology:— Myrcia mutabilis flowers from June to January and in March, with flowering concentrated from August to November. Fruits are found from October to June and in January and March (mature fruits from December to March).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— Myrcia mutabilis has a wide distribution in different vegetation types (Extent of Occurrence ca. 981,000 km 2), is found in protected areas and has recent collections from a variety of localities. The Area of Occupancy (248 km 2) is small, likely due to low collection density. Myrcia mutabilis is here considered to be of Least Concern (LC; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia mutabilis is characterized by sympodial vegetative branching usually with many branches (Figure 4D), immature twig not keeled, leaves usually coriaceous with inconspicuous venation on the adaxial surface, inflorescence commonly with many branches at the base (Figure 7D) and turbinate floral buds. Myrcia tenuifolia is very similar to M. mutabilis, sharing all characteristics above except the turbinate floral bud, which is clavate in M. tenuifolia. Coriaceous leaves with inconspicuous venation on the adaxial surface of the leaf blade are not found in Myrcia tenuifolia and can be used to distinguish it from M. mutabilis.</p> <p>Specimens of Myrcia mutabilis in Distrito Federal, Goiás and few localities of Minas Gerais are particularly similar to Myrcia tenuifolia. These specimens are essentially glabrous with large leaves and inflorescences with 3–5 branches per node, common in M. tenuifolia but rare in M. mutabilis. However, these specimens have turbinate floral buds, so including them in the circumscription of M. mutabilis. Furthermore, some specimens from Minas Gerais and Bahia show gradual change from this particular morphology and the typical Myrcia mutabilis. Most of these specimens inhabit riparian forest, which may indicate that morphology is influenced by the environment. Myrcia mutabilis is nearly restricted to montane inland areas, while Myrcia tenuifolia is almost restricted to lowland areas; the municipality of Santa Teresa (Espírito Santo state) is the only locality where the species are sympatric.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Kiaerskou (1893; as Myrcia pilodes); Kawasaki (1989, 2004; as Marlierea pilodes); Morais &amp; Lombardi (2006); Bünger et al.

It inhabits many vegetation types, including campo rupestre on sandy soil, canga vegetation, carrasco, quartzitic rocky outcrops, riparian forest and semideciduous forest.</p> <p>Phenology:— Myrcia nitida flowers from July to October and from December to May, with flowering concentrated from February to May. Fruits were found almost the whole year, except in January, February and November (mature fruits in September, October and December).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— Myrcia nitida has a wide distribution in campo rupestre (Extent of Occurrence ca. 146,000 km 2) and is found in protected areas, sometimes in numerous populations. The Area of Occupancy (84 km 2) is small but is probably due to low collection density in parts of its distribution. Myrcia nitida is here classified as Least Concern (LC; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia nitida is similar to Myrcia subcordata, differing in mainly vegetative monopodial branching, cataphyll scars present only at the basal internode of a new branch (Figure 4B) and venation barely conspicuous (especially on the adaxial surface). These species are sympatric in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, but no evidence of hybridization was found. Another distinctive feature of Myrcia nitida is the indumentum on the abaxial surface of leaves that becomes darkened and unevenly deciduous with the age; however, it is not found in all specimens.</p> <p>Specimens from Arinos and Formoso municipalities (North of Minas Gerais state) are distinct in their almost sessile leaves, short internodes and many leaves in each branch. However, these characteristics are found in specimens from other regions, although not so conspicuously. For instance, specimens from the Quadrilátero Ferrífero have almost sessile leaves with cordate bases; materials from the Diamantina Plateau (e.g. Shepherd 3947 [UEC]) have short internodes and petioles. The gradual change in these characteristics prevents the suggestion that these forms might be new taxa.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images: — Kawasaki (2004; as Marlierea rubiginosa).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined: — BRAZIL.

Inflorescence 6–14 × 2.5–12.0 cm, pyramidal, axillar at the terminal node, terminal dichasia usually with three flowers, 8–154 flowers, rachis tomentose, pubescent, puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous, 1–4 branching at the base (rarely more than four branching, sometimes with vegetative branches), first internode of central rachis 1–4 mm wide, semicylindrical to flattened, distal internodes flattened, opposite branching (rarely subopposite), 2–5(7) branching per node, epidermal protrusion present at the nodes (usually absent in the apical branches). Bract 1.4–3.6 × 0.4–1.4 mm, deciduous, ovate or obovate, concave, apex acute or obtuse, base truncate, adaxial and abaxial surfaces puberulent. Pedicel 0–2.4 mm long, cylindrical, tomentose, puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous. Bracteole 0.6–3.6 × 0.4–1.4 mm, deciduous, ovate or obovate, concave, apex acuminate to obtuse, base truncate, adaxial and abaxial surfaces. Floral bud 3–6 × 1–3 mm, clavate or turbinate. Hypanthium 1.0– 2.2 mm extending above the summit of the ovary, not tearing at anthesis (rarely with a small vertical rupture), externally tomentose, pubescent, puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous, sometimes glabrescent towards the apex, pellucid dots conspicuous (sometimes covered by the indumentum), internally glabrous; calyx 4–5(6)-merous, lobes 0.6–2.4 × 0.8–3.0 mm, distinct from the hypanthium, deciduous, depressed ovate to very widely ovate, concave, apex rounded, base truncate, externally pubescent, puberulent to glabrous, internally pubescent or puberulent; corolla 4–5-merous, petals light brown to white, 1.2–4.0 × 1–4 mm, depressed ovate to ovate, concave, apex rounded, base truncate, externally and internally puberulent to glabrous; staminal ring 0.2–0.8 mm wide, glabrous, stamens 75–200, filament 2.4–7.2 mm long, white, glabrous (rarely with scattered trichomes), anther 0.24–0.48 × 0.16–0.64 mm, square, oblong or transversely oblong; ovary 0.8–1.4 × 1.0– 2.8 mm, 2-locular, each locule with two ovules, style 4.4–8.2 mm long, glabrous (rarely with scattered trichomes), stigma punctiform, papillose. Fruit green to yellowish when immature, reddish to vinaceous at maturity, 7–15 × 7–16 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded (sometimes attenuate), glabrescent to glabrous, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–3.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia plusiantha occurs in the forest understory of the lowland to high montane rainforest in the Atlantic Forest domain, recorded in Bahia (municipality of Almadina), Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, northeastern Paraná and eastern São Paulo. A single collection is known from a semideciduous forest (municipality of Faria Lemos– Minas Gerais state) (Figure 19).</p> <p>Phenology:— Myrcia plusiantha flowers from January to May and from October to December, with flowering concentrated in February. It was collected in fruit from March to September and in January to November (mature fruits in March, April and from July to September).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— Myrcia plusiantha has a wide distribution area, is recorded in protected areas and often from highly dense populations. The small Area of Occupancy (124 km 2) is probably due to low collection effort. Even considering that Myrcia plusiantha is endemic to the Atlantic Forest, which has only 7.5% of its original area (Myers et al. 2000), it is here classified as Least Concern (LC; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia plusiantha is characterized by: immature twigs smooth, vinaceous when dry and not keeled; sympodial vegetative branching; cataphyll scars present at all internodes (Figure 4A); reticulate and conspicuous venation (with few exceptions); and turbinate floral bud (with a few exceptions; Figure 5D).</p> <p>The specimens from Paraná, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have morphology similar to the type collection of Myrcia plusiantha, but collections from the Espírito Santo have some distinct features. The most significant is the clavate floral bud (e.g. Pinheiro 2310 [ICN], Vervloet 1802 [SPF]). However, materials from the municipality of Santa Teresa (Espírito Santo state) (e.g. Kollmann 5994 [SPF], Siqueira 669 [SPF]) show gradation among clavate and turbinate shapes of floral bud, indicating intraspecific variation. This is the only record of clavate and turbinate floral bud in the same species in Myrcia sect. Sympodiomyrcia.</p> <p>Specimens from northern Espírito Santo (municipality of Águia Branca; e.g. Lombardi 5213 [BHCB]) are distinct due to a leaf with less reticulate venation and fruit with an attenuate base, but collections from other localities (e.g. Folli 5048, 5540 [CVRD], Santos 712 [SPF]) show gradation between these characteristics.</p> <p>Myrcia plusiantha with clavate flower buds, is similar to Myrcia tenuifolia, but can be distinguished by vinaceous dry twigs, up to two vegetative branches per node, and coriaceous leaves with reticulate venation. Myrcia plusiantha resembles Myrcia bicolor when leaves are elliptic and have acuminate apices; bigger leaf dimensions and turbinate flower bud distinguish the former species.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Kiaerskou (1893); Barroso &amp; Peixoto (1990; as Myrcia follii).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— BRAZIL.

Bracteole 0.8–1.2 × 0.2–0.4 mm, deciduous, lanceolate or ovate, concave, apex acuminate, base truncate, adaxial surface puberulent to glabrous, abaxial surface puberulent. Floral bud 2–3 × 2–3 mm, turbinate. Hypanthium extending 0.8–1.0 mm above the summit of the ovary, not tearing at anthesis, externally pubescent or puberulent, glabrescent towards the apex, pellucid dots conspicuous, internally glabrous; calyx 3–5-merous, lobes 0.2–1.2 × 0.8–1.8 mm, distinct from the hypanthium, deciduous, depressed ovate, concave, apex rounded, base truncate, externally puberulent or with scattered trichomes, internally puberulent; corolla 3–4-merous, petals light brown to white, 1–2 × 1.2–2.2 mm, depressed, ovate to very widely ovate, concave, apex rounded, base truncate, externally and internally puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous; staminal ring 0.2–0.4 mm wide, glabrous (rarely with scattered trichomes), stamens 28–64, filament 1.6–4.0 mm long, light brown to white, glabrous, anther 0.24–0.32 × 0.24–0.40 mm, square, oblong or transversely oblong; ovary 0.6–0.8 × 0.8–1.0 mm, 2-locular, each locule with two ovules, style 3.6–4.6 mm long, glabrous (rarely with scattered trichomes), stigma punctiform, papillose. Fruit green to yellowish when immature, mature fruit not seen, 5 × 5 mm, globose, base rounded, glabrescent to glabrous, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–2.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia rupestris is found in campo rupestre vegetation in the northern part of the Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais state, between 700–1300 m of elevation. It inhabits fissures in rocks or patches of sandy soil in rocky outcrops (Santos et al. 2015a; Figure 30).</p> <p>Phenology:—The species flowers from February to April and from September to November, with flowering peak in February. Specimens with fruits were collected from May to July and in February, September and November (mature fruits were not seen).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The analysis on Geocat showed that Myrcia rupestris has small Extent of Occurrence (ca. 1,300 km 2) and Area of Occupancy (36 km 2). We then agree with the classification of M. rupestris as Endangered by Santos et al. (2015a), adding the Extent of Occurrence criterion (EN, criteria B1a, biii and B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:—The species is characterized by the monopodial vegetative branching (Figure 3B, 4E), cataphyll scar present only at the basal internode of a new branch, short internodes, small leaves revolute at the base, secondary and marginal veins inconspicuous and inflorescence with only 1–2 branches at the base (Santos et al. 2015a; Figure 5C). Specimens of Myrcia rupestris have been identified as Myrcia lenheirensis (e.g. Kawasaki 2004, as Marlierea angustifolia), but the former differs by the dense indumentum, immature branches that are not keeled and branched inflorescence with complete terminal dichasia (Santos et al. 2015a). Myrcia rupestris is also similar to Myrcia subavenia, but differs by the habitat, the immature branches not keeled, the smaller leaves and the multi-flowered inflorescence.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Kawasaki (2004; misidentified as Marlierea angustifolia); Santos et al.

It inhabits the margin of watercourses and patches of soil on rocky outcrops. Berg (1857 –1859) cites in the protologue the type locality as “ Habitat ad ripas prope Timbopeva in prov. S. Pauli ”. However, any specimens from São Paulo state was found and it seems a mistake of the species author; the locality in the label of the type is vague (“Brasilia”).</p> <p>Phenology:— Flowers were found from August to December and in April, with flowering peak in October. Fruiting specimens were collected from March to May and in January and November (mature fruits in November).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The species is found in protected areas and often forms populations with high density, especially in the southern and central parts of its distribution. However, it has an Extent of Occurrence of ca. 5,500 km 2, is recorded from less than 10 localities and field work has showed that the species occurrence is scattered throughout the distribution perimeter. Furthermore, populations in the Serra do Cipó (Minas Gerais state), where a particular morphology is found (see comments below), are in apparent decline; field expeditions to the region did not found specimens in localities with records of about thirty years ago. Thus, the species is considered as Vulnerable (VU, criteria B1a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— The species is characterized by a slight keel in immature twig, leaf with flat venation almost always inconspicuous and floral features, which includes: pauciflorus inflorescence (often only one dichasium); bract usually more persistent than the group average; and calyx lobes usually with a prolonged apex. The protologue of Aulomyrcia ferruginea (Berg 1857 –1859) cites the ovary as 2–3-locular, but only two locular ovaries were found.</p> <p>Myrcia subavenia has two morphological groups, one linked to the type of Aulomyrcia subavenia and another linked to the type of Aulomyrcia ferruginea. The morphotype related to the type of A. ferruginea has thick branches, evident dichotomic branching (Figure 3H), larger leaves, longer inflorescence, calyx lobes with more prolonged apex and multi-ovulate ovary. While the morphotype of A. subavenia occurs from the Quadrilátero Ferrífero to the Diamantina Plateau, the morphotype of A. ferruginea is only found in the Serra do Cipó region.</p> <p>Such morphological divergences were considered an extreme of variation, because these characteristics are found in specimens from other localities and mixed with typical features of Aulomyrcia subavenia morphotype. For instance, the specimen Mota 2263 (BHCB), from the municipality of Conceição do Mato Dentro, has the typical morphology of A. subavenia but multi-ovulate ovary.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images: — Morais &amp; Lombardi (2006; as Myrcia lapensis); Rosa &amp; Romero (2012).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined: — BRAZIL.

There are also few records in the eastern escarpments of Serra do Mar (mainly in Paraná state) (Figure 48).</p> <p>The species inhabits many vegetation types, including: campo de altitude, campo ferruginoso (on Canga formation), campo rupestre, cerrado rupestre, mixed rainforest, montane semideciduous forest, submontane to high montane rainforest, riparian forest and rocky outcrops (quartzitic or sandstone). It is commonly found in edges of forest patches (e.g. capão de mata) surrounded by open vegetation.</p> <p>Phenology:— It flowers from September to May and in July, with flowering peak from November to January. Fruits are found throughout the year (mature fruits in October and from March to July).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The species has a wide occurrence area (Extent of Occurrence ca. 897,900 km 2), is recorded from many protected areas and often forms population with many individuals (even in areas with anthropogenic impact). The relatively small Area of Occupancy (336 km 2) is probably due to low collection density. Thus, Myrcia subcordata is considered as Least Concern (LC; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Despite the great morphological plasticity, Myrcia subcordata is well characterized by sympodial vegetative branching (Figure 3F), cataphyll scar usually present in all internodes, immature twig not keeled, mature twig with peeling (except few specimens), venation usually reticulate and conspicuous in both surfaces (Figures 3F, 4H), and turbinate floral bud (Figures 6D, 6G). The species is similar to Myrcia bicolor (see comments in this species).</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Berg (1857 –1859; as Aulomyrcia pulchra); Kiaerskou (1893; as Myrcia pilotantha); Legrand &amp; Klein (1969; as Myrcia breviramis); Morais &amp; Lombardi (2006); Mazine &amp; Souza (2008); Lucas et al.

Pedicel 0–2 mm long, cylindrical, tomentose, pubescent or puberulent. Bracteole 1–2 × 0.5–1.0 mm, deciduous, lanceolate or ovate, concave, apex acuminate or acute, base truncate, adaxial surface tomentose, puberulent to glabrous, abaxial surface tomentose or puberulent. Floral bud 3–5 × 1–4 mm, turbinate. Hypanthium 0.8–2.0 mm extending above the summit of the ovary, not tearing at anthesis (sometimes with a small vertical rupture), externally tomentose, pubescent or puberulent, pellucid dots inconspicuous (usually covered by the indumentum), internally glabrous; calyx 3–5-merous, lobes 0.4–2.4 × 0.8–3.6 mm, distinct from the hypanthium, deciduous, depressed ovate, widely depressed ovate or deltate, concave, apex rounded (rarely acute or obtuse), base truncate, externally tomentose, pubescent, puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous, internally tomentose, minutely tomentose, pubescent or puberulent; corolla 3–6-merous, petals reddish, light brown to white, 0.8–3.2 × 1.0– 3.2 mm, depressed ovate to widely ovate, depressed obovate or very widely obovate, concave, apex rounded, base truncate, externally pubescent, puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous, internally puberulent or with scattered trichomes to glabrous; staminal ring 0.2–0.4 mm wide, glabrous (rarely with scattered trichomes), stamens 67–112, filament 2.2–4.0 mm long, white, glabrous, anther 0.24–0.32 × 0.16–0.48 mm, square, oblong or transversely oblong; ovary 0.8–1.2 × 0.8–1.8 mm, 2-locular, each locule with two ovules, style 4.0– 4.8 mm long, glabrous, stigma punctiform, papillose. Fruit green to yellowish when immature, vinaceous at maturity, 6–11 × 6–11 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded, glabrescent to glabrous, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–3.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia summa occurs throughout the Guiana Highlands, including south and eastern Venezuela (e.g. Ayuan-Tepuí, Chimantá Massif, Cerro Sipapo, Ilu-Tepuí), western Guyana (e.g. Cuyuni-Mazaruni and Potaro-Siparuni regions) and northernmost Brazil (e.g. Pico da Neblina, Serra do Aracá) (Figure 12). It is found usually above 1000 m elevation, but there are records down to 600 m of elevation. The species inhabits different vegetation types: carrasco, campo rupestre, high montane forest, margin of watercourses and rocky outcrops.</p> <p>Phenology:— It flowers from January to March and in May, July, August, October and December; flowering is concentrated in January and February. Specimens with fruits were found from October to March and in May, June and August (mature fruits in August, October, December and February).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The species has a relatively wide distribution in the Guiana Highlands (Extent of Occurrence ca. 323,100 km 2), including records in many tepuis, which are protected areas; it is also found in more than 10 locations. However, the small Area of Occupancy (92 km 2) probably reflects its real distribution because the species occurs mainly in high elevation areas scattered through the region. This conflicting information led us to consider Myrcia summa as Data Deficient (DD; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia summa has morphological similarity with Myrcia mutabilis, sharing inconspicuous venation on the adaxial surface of leaf blade and sympodial branching. It differs from Myrcia mutabilis in the strongly ferruginous indumentum (versus ochraceous) and the narrower floral bud. Myrcia summa often shows a slight split in the hypanthium tissue at anthesis, probably because the floral bud is relatively narrow; other floral features are standard for Myrcia sect. Sympodiomyrcia.</p> <p>The species has great morphological plasticity; this is reflected in the current synonymy: Marlierea summa var. calva, with big, glabrous leaves; Marlierea summa var. superior, with leaves with nearly rounded apices (which are usually caudate) and conspicuous and raised venation on both surfaces (rare in the species). Regarding the synonym Marlierea vicina, specimens from the type locality have an ochraceous indumentum, chartaceous leaves, thicker inflorescences, longer persistent bracts and bigger floral buds.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Holst et al.

Fruit green when immature, reddish at maturity, 6–10 × 5–13 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded, glabrous, remnants of calyx lobes present or not; seeds 1–2.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia tenuifolia occurs in lowland rainforest in the Atlantic Forest domain, from central-northern Espírito Santo to southern Bahia (perhaps Rio de Janeiro). It is also recorded in montane rainforest (Santa Teresa region) (Figure 48). The species usually inhabits forest understory.</p> <p>Phenology:— It was found in flower from September to December and fruits from July to September and in March to April (mature fruits in April).</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The species seems to have a relatively wide distribution (Extent of Occurrence ca. 47,900 km 2), but the scarce records led to a small Area of Occupancy (32 km 2). Moreover, the species is recorded from less than 10 locations and only two protected areas (the “Reserva Natural Vale” and the “Reserva Biológica Augusto Ruschi”, both in Espírito Santo state). Lowland forest in Bahia and Espírito Santo states, its main area of occurrence, has been deforested and is under strong anthropogenic impacts (Landau et al. 2008). Thus, Myrcia tenuifolia is classified as Vulnerable (VU, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia tenuifolia is characterized by the scanty indumentum; sympodial branching with many branches (as in Myrcia mutabilis); cataphyll scars present at all internodes; large and chartaceous leaves; inflorescence with many branches at the base (Figure 5B) and 3–5 apical branches per node, and clavate floral buds. It is similar to M. mutabilis differing chiefly in the chartaceous leaves, the conspicuous venation on the adaxial surface and the clavate floral bud (see discussion in M. mutabilis).</p> <p>There are two specimens of Myrcia tenuifolia (Blanchet 85, 2325 [P]) from the municipality of Ilhéus (Bahia state) that have reticulate venation and vinaceous twigs (when dry), features that resemble Myrcia plusiantha. However, the specimens have many branches at the base of the inflorescence and clavate floral buds, a combination of features only found in M. tenuifolia. Specimens from Linhares (Espírito Santo state) have smaller leaves and resemble Myrcia bicolor, but the multiple vegetative and reproductive branching place them in M. tenuifolia.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— None found.</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— BRAZIL.

Fruit green when immature, 10 × 11 mm, depressed globose or globose, base rounded (sometimes attenuate), glabrous; seeds 1.</p> <p>Distribution and Habitat:— Myrcia truncata is found in the understory of submontane to montane rainforest in southern Bahia (Atlantic Forest domain). It is a rare species only found in the municipalities of Amargosa and Wenceslau Guimarães (Figure 28).</p> <p>Phenology:— It was collected with fruits in March and May. Flowers and mature fruits were not seen.</p> <p>Conservation Status:— The species has an Area of Occupancy of 8 km 2 and is recorded in only two localities. Moreover, Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia has been extensively deforested in the last decades (Landau et al. 2008). Thus, Myrcia truncata is considered as Endangered (EN, criteria B2a, biii; IUCN 2001).</p> <p>Discussion:— Myrcia truncata shares large leaves with Myrcia insigniflora, the difference being that leaves in M. truncata are discolorous with rounded to truncate base and calyx lobes are deciduous and distinct from the hypanthium tissue. The thick and vinaceous twig (when dry) is characteristic, but is shared with M. insigniflora and Myrcia plusiantha.</p> <p>Available illustrations and images:— Sobral et al. (2012).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Bahia: Mun. Wenceslau Guimarães, 13 ° 34’48”S, 39 ° 41’24”W, 11 March 2013 (fr), E.J.Lucas 1189 (K!). Total: 1 specimen.</p> <p>Final remarks</p> <p>This study presents a taxonomic revision of Myrcia sect. Sympodiomyrcia, a section of Myrcia that was recently the target of a phylogenetic study (Santos et al. 2016a). Twenty one species are recognized in Myrcia sect. Sympodiomyrcia, representing 55 names and 30 basionyms. The difficulties in finding well-defined characters with low intraspecific variation for defining species are clear throughout this treatment. When variation exists, the characteristics rarely entirely excludes all other species. Methodological limitations include scarcity of collections from some species and regions, making complete understanding of morphology and distribution difficult. However, despite difficulties regarding the complex taxonomy of Myrcia (Bentham 1869, McVaugh 1968, Landrum &amp; Kawasaki 1997), the wide analysis of herbarium collections together with a bibliographic revision provide a satisfactory arrangement of the taxonomy of this group.</p> <p>This is the first time that a complete taxonomic revision of a group inside Myrcia is published since Berg’s works with American and Brazilian Myrtaceae (Berg 1855 –1856, 1857–1859, respectively; but see Nic Lughadha 1997). However, the number of species covered by the present work is a small fraction of the nearly 800 species of Myrcia (Lucas et al. 2011, WCSP 2018). More taxonomic studies of Myrcia are imperative and demand urgency, due to anthropogenic impact in most of Myrcia distribution and the expected loss of species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F887C9FF9EFFF0FF45FBF8FBC8FB2C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
