Bocagea, a distinctive genus of tribe Bocageeae (Annonaceae), is revisited here. It is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and has been for almost 200 years represented by only two species, B. longepedunculata and B. viridis. Recent collections from Espírito Santo and São Paulo States produced two new species, described here. The species of Bocagea are rare plants, all of them classified at least as endangered.

Two New Species

Two new species of Myrcia from the Atlantic rainforest in southeastern Brazil, Myrcia congestiflora and Myrcia longipaniculata are here described and illustrated. Myrcia congestiflora occurs in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states and is similar to Myrcia cerqueiria, differing by having densely sericeous indumentum (versus sparse and shorter trichomes), larger flowers and flower buds (flower buds with 3–4 mm versus 1.1 mm long) and by acute or obtuse calyx lobes rather than rounded. Myrcia longipaniculata is known for one collection from the boundary of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro differing from Myrcia spectabilis mainly by the longer inflorescence size (29 cm versus 3.5–21.5 cm long.) as well as for presenting a strong reddish or ferruginous indumentum (versus brown to yellowish).

Two Eugenia species are described herein as result of the elaboration of a taxonomic treatment of Myrtaceae for the flora of Restinga vegetation from Espírito Santo, in the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Detailed description, illustration, distribution and evaluation of their IUCN conservation status of Eugenia itaunensis and Eugenia kuekii are presented. Eugenia itaunensis is related to E. copacabanensis from which differs by larger leaves with base obtuse, rounded, cordate or subcordate, 10–18 pairs of secondary veins and greater flowers with calyx lobes in two unequal pairs in size. Eugenia kuekii is morphologically similar to Eugenia widgrenii but differs by leaves with obtuse base, 6–9 pairs of secondary veins, fasciculiform inflorescence with 1–2 pairs of flowers, and yellowish fruits. Eugenia kuekii is also related to Eugenia pruinosa but can be distinguished by its leaves with base obtuse or rounded and calyx lobes larger.

We describe two new species of Heteropterys (Malpighiaceae) endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo State, Brazil. Heteropterys eucalyptifolia and H. follianum belong to the Aptychia informal group, due to their petioles with a pair of glands at the base, sessile pedicels, petals exposed in the enlarging bud, and strongly heteromorphic filaments. Morphological descriptions, illustrations, a distribution map and information on the conservation status of the species are provided.

Two new species of Eugenia (Myrtaceae), endemic to the Atlantic forest in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, are described. Eugenia amorimii has fruits with brown mealy indumentum and is similar to E. multicostata, while Eugenia sobraliana has a characteristic pedicels exfoliating longitudinally after anthesis and is similar to E. sessiliflora. The new species are restricted to single localities in the central and northwestern regions of Espírito Santo. According to the criteria of the IUCN Red List of endangered plant species both species should be considered as “Vulnerable”.

A New Species

Miconia goldenbergiana, a new species from the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil, is described and illustrated. The new species have been extensively collected since the end of the XIX century but have been confused with M. budlejoides and M. formosa, species that also have discolorous and suprabasal leaves and glomerulate inflorescences. From the first species, it can be distinguished by papyraceous leaves with the abaxial surface covered by lepidote trichomes. From the second species, it can be distinguished also by the texture of leaves, and by its narrower size, crenulate to serrulate margins and acute base, besides the smaller size of the flowers. The new species is known from the states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and eastern São Paulo, and is in danger of extinction.

Tocoyena atlantica, a new species endemic to southern Bahia and northern Espírito Santo states, Brazil, is here described and illustrated. The species consists of trees 5−8 m tall; with petioles 2−5 cm long, and leaf blades 7.4−24.5 × 2.5−9.1 cm, elliptic, adaxially glabrous; calyces cup-shaped with triangular lobes; corolla yellow during anthesis, with tube gradually wider towards the mouth; and laterally compressed hypanthia. Based on IUCN criteria, we consider T. atlantica endangered, with three collection localities within the Atlantic Forest domain. An identification key for species of Tocoyena occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest is also provided.
