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).
