Abstract

Abstract. Two species of Eugenia L. (Myrtaceae) within Eugenia sect. Umbellatae O. Berg, E. teresa-ruiziana Villarroel & Faria and E. cydoniifolia O. Berg, are described and illustrated. The former is a new species, whereas the latter has not been collected since 1842. Both species are endemic to the cerrados of the Lomerio region of eastern Bolivia. This article examines and discusses the vegetative and reproductive characteristics that distinguish these species, which include the leaf morphology, indumentum type, secondary vein number, stamen number, and ovule number per locule.
