Eugenia expansa Spring ex Martius (1837: 84). Type:— BRAZIL.

Type:— BRAZIL. Habitat in umbrosis siccis prope Mandiocca prov. Rio de Janeiro, florebat Octobri: Riedel (holotype LE [photo]!; isotypes K!, barcode 000170005, P!, barcode 00723734), syn. nov.</p> <p>= Eugenia grandisepala Mattos (1975b: 7). Type:— BRAZIL. Paraná: Guaraqueçaba, Salto Morato (‘Murato”), 21 Dec. 1970, Hatschbach 25812 (holotype MBM!, barcode 20885; isotype US [photo]!), syn. nov.</p> <p>= Eugenia grazielae Mattos &amp; D.Legrand (1975: 24). Type:— BRAZIL. Guanabara: Rio de Janeiro, Graziela [Maciel Barroso] 6046 (holotype MVM [photo]!), syn. nov.</p> <p>The protologues and type specimens of Eugenia expansa, E. cuprea, E. grandisepala and E. grazielae largely overlap, especially regarding the remarkable character of the cupreous and velutinous indumentum of young leaves, that suggested to us that these names could be united under a single species. The caudate apex of the leaves and the cupreous aspect of the flowers are also features that help to identify this species and to easily separate it from other species of section Phyllocalyx. Although this species has been widely filed in herbaria under Eugenia cuprea, its correct name is Eugenia expansa —another long overlooked name in the same fashion of E. membranifolia (see Bünger et al. 2014).</p> <p>Eugenia expansa occurs in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Paraná in coastal Atlantic forests and maritime scrubs on sandy soil (restingas). Eugenia expansa is widely distributed but grows in very small populations.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BB21552B2CFFAAF682F8CEFA81FDD4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
