Flora of Espírito Santo: Campomanesia (Myrtaceae)

Abstract

Plant checklist made for Angiosperms or only for the family Myrtaceae in Espírito Santo presented divergent results regarding the richness of Campomanesia species in this state. The present study aims to elucidate this issue from the development of a floristic-taxonomic approach to the genus in the Espírito Santo state. Collections deposited at herbaria CVRD, MBML, RB and VIES were analyzed, and the fieldwork were made in localities representative of all the phytophysiognomies of Espírito Santo from january 2015 to july 2016. Ten of these species had their occurrence confirmed for the state, two are new records, and one is new to science (Campomanesia sepalifolia), being described and illustrated here for the first time. The morphological characterization of the species was made by descriptions and illustrations; an identification key and maps represented the species geographic distribution are provided.
