Eugenia rhombea (O.Berg) Krug & Urban, Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 19: 644 (1895) Basionym: Eugenia foetida var. rhombea O.Berg (1856: 212) . EOO: 1,139,836.067 km ². AOO: 236 km ². Evaluation of IUCN: Least concern. Eugenia rhombea has a wide distribution in the American continent from Florida ( United States ), Mexico to Venezuela , in addition to the Antilles ( WCSP, 2020 ). The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) and its area of occupancy (AOO) based on the habitat available, fairly exceeds the thresholds for a threatened category under the criterion B. Eighty collection records were found from Mexico to Nicaragua , mainly in regions with a hot climate and areas of Humid and Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest from 18 to 1,800 m elev. For this reason, Eugenia rhombea is classified as Least Concern (LC) (BGCI & IUCN 2019h). Specimens examined :— MEXICO . Chiapas : Breedlove 26891 ( MICH ) ; Guerrero : Soto 9563 ( MEXU !) ; Oaxaca : Campos 3426 ( MEXU !) ; Tamaulipas : Medrano & Hiriart 12573 ( MEXU !) ; Veracruz : Acevedo 404 ( MEXU !) ; Yucatán : Ucan & Yam 2023 ( CICY !) .
