Abstract
Two new species of Myrcia sect. Reticulosae, M. carassana and M. revoluta are here described and illustrated. Myrcia carassana was firstly recognized in 1908 by A. F. M. Glaziou but never validly published. This species is similar to M. venosissima but differs by reddish trichomes, inflorescences botryoid or reduced to simple dichasia with longer peduncles, obconic floral buds and calyx lobes internally densely pilose. Myrcia revoluta resembles M. reticulosa but differs by leaves strongly revolute, densely pilose abaxially when mature, and subterminal inflorescences subtended by reduced leaves.
