Myrcia sensu lato, Calyptranthes section, Cerrado, Paranã, TocantinsResumo
We present a new species of Myrcia sect. Calyptranthes, Myrcia fariae P.O.Rosa & Proença, endemic to a microregion in the state of Tocantins, Brazil, with its diagnosis, description, scientific illustration, geographic distribution and conservation analysis. In addition to the new species, we also present the consolidation of the distribution of Myrcia calderonii (Standl.) A.R.Lourenço & Sánchez-Cháv. in Brazil, a significant disjunction in the distribution supported by morphological and molecular analyses.
