2. Eugenia tain R. Flores, B. Holst & A. Ibáñez, sp. nov . Type:— PANAMA. Comarca Ngäbe-Bugle: isla Escudo de Veraguas, 1 m, 9°6’14”N, 81°33’18”W, 5 June 2021 (fl., fr.), A. Ibáñez & R. Flores 10280 (holotype: PMA!; isotypes MO!, SEL!, COL!, B!) Figure 4 D-F, Figure 5. Diagnosis :— Eugenia tain is morphologically similar to Eugenia belloi Barrie (2005: 4) and to Eugenia skutchii C.V. Morton & Standley (in Standley 1937: 774). From E. belloi , E. tain can be distinguished by its leaves chartaceous and mainly obovate, although occasionally ovate or elliptic, ( vs. leaves coriaceous and elliptic), generally shorter petioles, 6–11 mm ( vs. petioles generally longer, 10–20 mm); hypanthium campanulate ( vs. globose), sepals markedly inequal ( vs. subequal). From E. skutchii , E. tain can be distinguished by its generally shorter petioles, 6–11 mm ( vs . petioles generally longer, 10–20 mm), smaller leaf blades, 7.5–18 cm ( vs. larger blades, 13–24 cm), and lateral veins 9–15 per side ( vs . lateral veins 16–20 per side). Description :—Tree, 6–15 m; branchlets, leaves, and inflorescences adpressed pubescent with ochraceous trichomes, dibrachiate; branchlets compressed at nodes. Leaves opposite, petiolate, the petioles 6–11 × 1–1.8 mm, canaliculate; blades mostly obovate, ocasionally ovate or elliptic 7.5–18 × 3.3–10.3 cm, chartaceous, bicolorous, the adaxial surface pubescent or glabrescent, bright green when fresh, light to dark brown, greenish or brown-reddish when dry, abaxial surface, ochre or green-grayish when fresh and ochre or brown-grayish when dry, glands inconspicuous but visible at 10×; apex caudate, acuminate to cuspidate; base acute; midvein adaxially slightly sulcate, abaxially prominent, convex, pubescent; lateral veins 9–15 per side, ascending from the midvein to a marginal vein equaling the lateral veins in prominence and slightly arched between ca. 1–2 mm from the margin, sometimes the marginal veins inconspicuous on the abaxial surface. Inflorescences racemose, solitary, occasionally ... |
