Eugenia salamensis Donnell Smith, Bot. Gaz

64. Eugenia salamensis Donnell Smith, Bot. Gaz. 27: 333 (1899) EOO: 769,945.403 km ². AOO: 184 km ². Evaluation of IUCN: Least Concern. Eugenia salamensis has a wide distribution within the Mexican territory, being able to be found from an area more to the north like Sinaloa to the South like Oaxaca, from 5 to 450 m elev. In addition, the species also occurs in Central America having been collected from Guatemala (Smith 1899) to Nicaragua (Barrie 2020, WCSP 2020). The estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) and potentially area of occupancy (AOO) based on the habitat available fairly exceed the thresholds for a threatened category under the criterion B. The most prevalent biome is Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests close to the coast. There are more than 10 known locations, based on the total of 55 collections available throughout the Mexican Pacific coast to Costa Rica. In Mexico, 29 collection records were found in eight states. Therefore, Eugenia salamensis can be classified as Least Concern (LC). Specimens examined:— MEXICO.
