New records on Colombian Myrtaceae

Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Carrera 30 No. 45-03, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia
New records Myrtaceae Eudicots

Abstract

Myrtaceae are represented in Colombia by 24 genera and 167 species, where nine genera and 28 species are introduced (Parra-O. 2015, 2016; Parra & Bohórquez-Osorio 2016). Although a checklist of Colombian Myrtaceae has been recently published (Parra-O. 2016), the continuous study of this family has allowed me to identify five new records for the Country. Cited specimens were examined at COAH, COL, FMB, and HUA; herbarium acronyms follow Thiers (2017).
