C. Souza 2016	<div><p>1. Myrcia congestiflora Caliari &amp; V.C. Souza, sp. nov.</p><p>Type:— BRAZIL. São Paulo: Ubatuba, Picinguaba, trilha do corisco, 27 January 1996, A. Takahasi &amp; E.C. Romera 211 (holotype HRCB! , isotypes UEC!, SPSF!). Figures 1–2.</p><p>This species is related to Myrcia cerqueiria from which it is distinguished by the twigs with a dense, bright and sericeous to tomentose indumentum (versus sparse, opaque and shorter trichomes) combined with the congested inflorescence, wider buds (6–8 × 5 mm versus 5 × 3.5 mm) and longer calyx lobes (3–4 mm long versus 1–1.1 mm long).</p><p>Shrub, treelet or tree 2–5m tall; twigs flat to sulcate; densely covered by bright, sericeous to tomentose indumentum, densely covered, appressed, farinaceous under the trichomes, yellowish to whitish, deciduous. Leaf blades elliptic, slightly oblanceolate, or slightly lanceolate, (7.1–)13.5–32.5 × (2.2–) 3.3–10.5 cm, membranaceous to subchartaceous, margins flat; dark green adaxially and pale green abaxially, discolorous, rarely low contrast, glabrous adaxially and tomentulose abaxially with simple trichomes in two different sizes, sometimes whitish with brown base, giving bright appearance, glandular dots blackened to brown, salient to indistinct adaxially and salient and blackened abaxially, apex acute to acuminate or caudate; base attenuate to long attenuate; midvein sulcate to canaliculate adaxially and salient abaxially, lateral veins 18–29 pairs, slightly salient to canaliculate on adaxial surface and slightly salient to flat on abaxial surface; marginal veins 2, respectively up to 5 mm and 0.1–0.8 mm from margin; petiole 2–10 mm long, canaliculate, interpetiolar scar linear. Inflorescence in panicles or racemes, erect, 2–6.6 cm long, indumentum sericeous to tomentose, farinaceous, greyish to yellow, slightly bright; bracts not seen, probably deciduous. Flower buds 6–8 mm long, densely and uniformly sericeous to tomentose; bracteoles 6–10 mm; calyx with 5 lobes, these widely ovate to widely depressed ovate, 3–4 mm long, slightly acuminate, acute to obtuse; anthers linear to narrowly elliptic, with 1.3–2 × 0.1–0.3 mm; hypanthium smooth, elevated 1–3 mm above the level of style insertion, ovary bilocular, with two ovules per locule. Fruit globose, 18–20 mm in diameter, tomentulose, glabrescent, yellow, red or purple.</p><p>Distribution and habitat:— This species occurs in two disjunct areas in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The occurrence of Myrcia congestiflora in Rio de Janeiro is restricted to the municipality of Petrópolis. In São Paulo state it is restricted to the northeastern coast (Caraguatatuba and Ubatuba), in areas of Atlantic rainforest. Myrcia congestiflora occurs in dense rainforest at low altitudes, on forest-covered slopes, submontane and montane forests, at about 665 m elev. (according to specimen Cordeiro et al. 2319).</p><p>Phenology:— Buds were collected in December, flowers in January–March, and fruits from May–September. The only specimen collected with flower buds and fruits in the same material was E.M.B. Prata s.n. (HRCB 51027), collected in July.</p><p>Etymology: —The epithet refers to the congested distribution of the buds in the inflorescence.</p><p>Conservation status:— The municipality of Petrópolis, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, is more than 300 km away from the municipalities of Ubatuba and Caraguatatuba. Thus, the lack of information does not allow us to do a consistent evaluation. In the absence of additional data we presently score it as DD (Data Deficient) according to IUCN conservation criteria (IUCN 2001).</p><p>Paratypes: — BRAZIL.

Lucas &amp; Sobral (2010: 54), including its anther morphology, both with a vertical displacement of thecae marked, thecal halves retaining curvature after dehiscence, connivent or held parallel with margins inrolled, resembling a poricide dehiscence.

Nadruz 651 (holotype RB!) . Figures 3, 4, 5B, 6B</p><p>This species is related to Myrcia spectabilis, from which it is distinguished by its dense reddish to ferrugineous indumentum combined with larger inflorescence (29 versus 3.5–21.5 cm long.).</p><p>Tree, 6 m tall; twigs flat to sulcate, with a pilose to lanuginose, farinaceous indumentum, reddish to ferrugineous, persistent. Leaf blade lanceolate, chartaceous, margins flat to slightly curved; discolored, dark brown adaxially, light green abaxially; blades 35 × 12.2 cm, glabrescent with the midrib sparsely pilose adaxially and slightly lanuginose abaxially; gland dots flat to slightly impressed and dark adaxially, indistinct abaxially, apex acute to slightly acuminate, base rounded to slightly cordate, midrib sulcate adaxially, salient abaxially, lateral veins ca. 27 pairs, slightly salient to impressed adaxially, salient abaxially; marginal veins 2, respectively up to 6 mm and 0.1 mm from margin, petioles 5 mm long, canaliculate; interpetiolar scar linear. Inflorescence in terminal panicles, erect, ca. 29 cm long, pilose or lanuginose, farinaceous under the trichomes, ferruginous to reddish; bracts not seen. Flower buds, ca. 7 mm long, uniformly lanuginose; bracteoles not seen; calyx with 5 lobes, these depressed ovate, 2 mm long, rounded; anthers elliptic with 0.6–0.7 × 0.3–0.4 mm; hypanthium 2.2–2.5 mm, smooth; ovary bilocular, with two ovules per locule. Fruits not seen.</p><p>Distribution and habitat:— Boundary between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states, in the Atlantic rainforest.</p><p>Phenology:— Flower buds and flowers in November.</p><p>Etymology:— The epithet refers to the length of inflorescence.</p><p>Conservation status:— This species occurs in the border of Paraty and Ubatuba, two contiguous and very well collected municipalities, which sum 1,649 km ² (IBGE 2015). Specieslink (CRIA 2016), a site that exhibits collections from all major Brazilian herbaria, registered 35,600 specimens within its limits, resulting in an average of 21 collections/km², a high sampling effort when compared with the Brazilian average of 0.59 collections/km² calculated by Sobral &amp; Stehmann (2009). In spite of this, and the present efforts to recollect this species, Myrcia longipaniculata was collected only once, which is a good indication of its probable rarity. Applying IUCN evaluation criteria to M. longipaniculata, it presents an area of occupation smaller than 10 km ² (B2) in the Atlantic Forest, where many species are seriously threatened by anthropogenic pressure (Myers et al. 2000, Orme et al. 2005). Also it is known from a single locality (B2.a), with a very small, restricted population (D), as inferred by the number of sampling in a well collected locality. We therefore evaluate this species as CR (critically endangered) IUCN (2001).</p><p>Affinities and discussion:— This species has vegetative morphology similar to Myrcia spectabilis De Candolle (1828: 248). These two species are distinguished by the characters in the following key:</p><p>1. Twigs striated; twigs and inflorescence indumentum with setose trichomes or lanate to dense-lanate, brown to yellow, tending to golden, dark brown or cream (Figure 5A); leaves puberulous abaxially; inflorescence with maximum 21.5 cm long (Figure 6A) .. ................................................................................................................................................................................ Myrcia spectabilis</p><p>– Twigs not striated; twigs and inflorescence with lanuginose indumentum, reddish to ferrugineous (Figure 5B); leaves sparsely pilose on midrib and the indumentum more or less lanuginose abaxially; inflorescence with about 29 cm long (Figure 6B) ........... ........................................................................................................................................................................
