Calyx (con)fusion in a hyper-diverse genus: Parallel evolution of unusual flower patterns in Eugenia (Myrtaceae)
Eugenia has a pantropical distribution and comprises ca. 1000 species found mostly in the Neotropics. Recent DNA based phylogenies show that unusual flower morphology of ‘eugenioid’ collections, e.g. fused calices that open by tearing, consistently emerged within Eugenia. These results emphasize a demand to revaluate flower morphology in a phylogenetic...Giaretta, Augusto ; Vasconcelos, Thais ; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda ; Faria, Jair Eustáquio Quintino ; Flores, Rodolfo …

Taxonomic monograph of Eugenia sect. Schizocalomyrtus (Myrtaceae: Myrteae), a group within Eugenia with unusual flowers.
Taxonomic monograph of Eugenia sect. Schizocalomyrtus, supported by molecular and morphological evidence, is presented. The flowers of this section have unusual fused calyces that are contrasted with standard Eugenia flowers with free calyx lobes. Because the fused calyx recurs in Myrtaceae and has been historically misleading for taxonomists, a key...Giaretta, Augusto ; Lucas, Eve ; Sano, Paulo Takeo

Five new South American species of Myrcia s.l. (Myrtaceae).
Five new species of Myrcia s.l. are described and illustrated: Myrcia ascendens (related to Myrcia densa), Myrcia attenuata (related to Myrcia bicolor), Myrcia costeira (related to Myrcia bicarinata), Myrcia rupestris (related to Myrcia lenheirensis) and Myrcia subterminalis (related to Myrcia bicolor). The new species occur in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest...
