SANCHEZ-CHAVEZ, Erandi  and  ZAMUDIO, Sergio. Three new species of Myrtaceae of the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico. Act. Bot. Mex [online]. 2016, n.115, pp.51-64. ISSN 2448-7589.

Three new species of Myrtaceae from Querétaro and Hidalgo, México are described and illustrated: Calyptranthes moctezumae, Eugenia queretaroana and E. huasteca. Calyptranthes moctezumae is related with C. schlechtendaliana and C. schiedeana, from which it is distinguished by the lesser number of nerves per leaf, petioles 1 to 5 mm long, and because it occurs in tropical deciduous and subdeciduous forest, as well as submontane scrub. Eugenia queretaroana is similar to E. crenularis and E. pueblana; nevertheless, it is distinguished by the coppery indumentum, terete petiole, infundibuliform hypanthium, and ellipsoid fruit with a false stipe at base. Eugenia huasteca is related with E. capuli; however, the new species is distinguishable from all the other species in the genus by the brownishred to whitish indumentum of simple hairs and the sessile flowers.

Keywords : Calyptranthes; Eugenia; Hidalgo; México; Querétaro.
