20. Myrcia densa (DC.) Sobral (2006a: 136) View in CoL [ Fig. 3M–O View FIGURE 3 ; Fig 5R View FIGURE 5 ; Fig 6A View FIGURE 6 ]

Endemic to the Atlantic Forest from the northeast to southeast regions of Brazil in the States of Bahia and Minas Gerais ( Govaerts et al. 2010, Sobral et al. 2010). New records of this species for State of Pernambuco and Sergipe are presented here.

Trees and shrubs 4–5 m tall. Morphologically similar to Myrcia bergiana but differs by having shorter leaves (3–4 cm long), rotund calyx lobes and a glabrous hypanthium; it differs from other Myrcia species by having ferruginous trichomes, a flat or raised midvein on the adaxial lamina surface and subglobose fruits.
