Abstract
Based on recent studies on Myrtaceae in the Brazilian Amazon, we present an update of the morphological circumscription of Myrcia, including eight new occurrences of the genus in Para State, three of which represent new records for the Amazon region. Comments are provided on the diagnostic features and taxonomic affi nities of each species, their geographic distributions, and their preferred environments of occurrence. Recommendations for updating the list of Brazilian Myrtaceae species are presented.
期刊介绍:
The Iheringia, Série Botânica is a publication edited by the Museu de Ciências Naturais, Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, since 1958. The name Iheringia is actually a tribute to Hermann von Ihering (a German researcher who became a Brazilian citizen) and his important studies in the Natural Sciences.The journal has the mission of publishing articles, reviews and original scientific notes that cover diverse areas in Botany, and may be written in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
The journal is widely available in both international and national scientific community. The issues are published and distributed twice a year to 118 national institutions and 152 international institutions. The distribution is either free of charge or by exchange.
