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).
