Abstract

Myrcia sect. Eugeniopsis is one of the nine sections of Myrcia (Myrciinae, Myrteae, Myrtaceae) and includes mostly species of the current synonym genus Eugeniopsis. Using fieldwork and the analysis of herbarium collections as a basis, we describe here a new species of this section, Myrcia tenondeporan, which is endemic to the Atlantic Forest in the Serra do Mar Mountains. The new species is related to Myrcia vellozoi and Myrcia multipunctata but differs mainly in the leaf shape and size, inflorescence structure and size of floral buds.
