Eugenia guatemalensis Donnell Smith, Bot. Gaz. 23: 245 (1897) EOO: 214,157.969 km ². AOO: 140 km ². Evaluation of IUCN: Least Concern. Eugenia guatemalensis is distributed from Mexico to Honduras ( WCSP 2020 ). In Mexico the species occurs mainly in the state of Chiapas and Oaxaca , but it has a record in the state of Mexico , specifically in the “Sierra de Nichititla”. Eugenia guatemalensis is found in the Dry Forest in an ecotone between the Temperate Forest and Tropical rainforest, from 200 to 1,200 m elev. In the Mesoamerican region the species can be found as part of mixed forests, Pinus-Quercus forests, and Humid Montane Forests. The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) exceeds the thresholds for a threatened category under the criterion B. The area of occupancy (AOO) would likely exceed the thresholds of any threatened category when the remaining habitat available is taken in account. There are more than 10 known locations based on 50 records in the region. Therefore, Eugenia guatemalensis is classified as Least Concern (LC). Specimens examined :— MEXICO .
