Description

Eugenia trunciflora is a myrtenväxtart first described by Diederich Franz Leonhard von Schlechtendal and Adelbert von Chamisso , and got its current name of George Don jr . Eugenia trunciflora is included in the genus Eugenia and the family myrtle plants. Eugenia is a genus of flowering plants in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. It has a worldwide, although highly uneven, distribution in tropical and subtropical regions. The bulk of the approximately 1,000 species occur in the New World tropics, especially in the northern Andes, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Forest (coastal forests) of eastern Brazil. Other centers of diversity include New Caledonia and Madagascar. Many species new to science have been and are in the process of being described from these regions. For example, 37 new species of Eugenia have been described from Mesoamerica in the past few years.
