≡ Calyptranthes eugeniopsoides D.Legrand & Kausel (in Legrand 1962b: 194). Marlierea eugeniopsoides (D.Legrand & Kausel) D. Legrand (1975: 7) . Type:— Brazil. Santa Catarina: Sombrio, 09 December 1945 (fl.), Reitz 1347 (holotype MVM! [image], isotypes MO, SI! [image]).

Description:— Shrub to tree, 1.5 to 12 m high. Trichome reddish, simple or dibrachiate, 0.05–0.64 mm. Twig when young flattened, puberulent (sometimes tomentose), when mature greyish or stramineous (when dry), cylindrical, cortex slightly cracked; branching monopodial, internode 1.4–6.1 cm, node slender; cataphylls sometimes present, early deciduous; buds pubescent. Leaf concolorous, chartaceous, blade 7.4–17.5 × 1.9–6.8 cm, narrowly to widely elliptic, oblong, ovate or obovate, apex acuminate or caudate, base cuneate to truncate or attenuate, margin plane, secondary veins 2–8 mm apart, held at an angle of 40–75° relative to the midvein, one or two marginal veins, the first 0.5–2.0 mm and the second 0.3–0.5 mm from the margin, tertiary veins conspicuous to barely conspicuous in both surfaces, areoles 0.5-3.0 mm, pellucid dots conspicuous in the abaxial surface, ca. 4 per mm 2; adaxial surface essentially glabrous, secondary veins plane (rarely raised); abaxial surface puberulent to subglabrate, secondary veins raised; petiole 3–15 × 1–2 mm, canaliculate, usually with lenticels, puberulent. Inflorescence 2.0–7.5 × 1.5–4.5 cm, 3–15 flowers, axillar at the terminal or subterminal nodes (usually the one immediately below the terminal node) of the SGU (central bud developing a vegetative branch), one inflorescence per axillary bud, inflorescence pherophyll deciduous, opposite branching, three branching per node, rachis puberulent to glabrous, first internode of central rachis 1.0– 1.5 mm wide; bracts ca. 3.0 × 0.4 mm, deciduous, lanceolate, concave, apex acute, base truncate, both surfaces glabrous; bracteoles 1.6 × 0.4 mm, deciduous, lanceolate, plane, apex caudate, base truncate, both surfaces glabrous. Flower bud 3.2–4.2 × 1.6–3.6 mm, obovate, sometimes apiculate, corolla hidden before anthesis; hypanthium 1.2–2.0 mm extending above the summit of the ovary, tearing at anthesis including the staminal ring, externally tomentose or puberulent, totally covered by pellucid dots; calyx lobes totally fused, indistinct, opening irregularly at the anthesis, deciduous, externally puberulent to glabrous, internally puberulent to subglabrate; corolla 4–merous, petals white, 1.6– 2.6 × 1.2–2.8 mm, very widely ovate, widely to very widely obovate, plane, apex rounded, both surfaces puberulent to glabrous; staminal ring 0.4–0.8 mm wide, puberulent, stamens 90–172, filament 2.0–8.0 mm long, anther 0.16–0.24 × 0.16–0.40 mm, gland at the apex; ovary 0.8–1.0 × 0.6–1.2 mm, obconic, style 5.4–8.0 mm long, glabrous, stigma punctiform (rarely slightly swollen). Fruit mature purple to black, 1.2 × 1.2 cm, globose, base rounded, glabrescent to glabrous, totally covered by pellucid dots, remnants of hypanthium and calyx present; seeds 1 or 2 per fruit.

Distribution and Habitat: — Myrcia eugeniopsoides occurs in the Atlantic Forest domain, from northern Rio Grande do Sul state to the southern São Paulo state ( Figure 10 ). The species is found in various types of vegetation, but always in areas with no water deficit. It inhabits rainforest (at different elevations), riparian forest, flooded forest (including caxetal), and restinga, usually in the understory. Occasionally, it forms conspicuous population.

Phenology: —The species has been recorded flowering from August to March, with peak in December and January. Fruits have been observed throughout the year, with mature fruits recorded only in August and September.

Conservation Status: — Myrcia eugeniopsoides has an Extent of Occurrence of ca. 106,327 km 2 (threshold of Least Concern; sensu IUCN 2022), is found in protected areas and has been recently collected from multiple localities. The species is relatively common throughout its range, as indicated by its numerous records and own field observations. The area of occupancy (428 km 2, threshold of Endangered) is small, likely due to low collection density. Based on this context, Myrcia eugeniopsoides is preliminarily considered to be of Least Concern (LC; IUCN 2022).

Taxonomy: — Myrcia eugeniopsoides is characterized by greyish or stramineous twigs, monopodial branching, elliptic leaves with acuminate or caudate apices, petiole usually with lenticels, few-flowered inflorescence at the terminal or subterminal nodes (just below the terminal) of the SGU, globose flower buds, and calyx lobes fused and opening irregularly during the anthesis ( Figure 13A–D ). The shape and size of leaf blade, as well as the co-occurrence with Myrcia tenondeporan , may cause confusion. However, M. tenondeporan is distinguished by its open floral buds (calyx lobes distinct) that open regularly during the anthesis, a feature visible even in the fruit. The developmental pathway of hypanthium/calyx follows the gamosepalous pattern described by Vasconcelos et al. (2017), which is typical of Myrcia sect. Calyptranthes . The common name “guamirim-branco” (likely referring to the twig colour) has been recorded in the Santa Catarina and Paraná states.
