Conteúdo: | Recent phytosociological studies in the Distrito Federal have shown that the Myrtaceae are the third ecologically most important family in the woody stratum of local savanna woodland, and that they may also be an important component in forests. The family, with c. 65 species in the area, is also the fifth in total number of species in the Distrito Federal. The taxonomic treatment includes a key to the genera and monographs of Subtribes Eugeniinae and Myrtinae (which account for 39 of the species). The Eugeniinae are represented by genera Eugenia (15 species), Myrciaria (2 species) and Siphoneugena (1 species). The Myrtinae are represented by genera Blepharocalyx (1 specie), Campomanesia (6 species), Pimenta (1 specie) and Psidium (13 species). The biological and historical factors which create difficulties in the taxonomy of the family are outlined. Approximately 800 Distrito Federal numbers of Myrtaceae were examined, and an additional 500 numbers of extra-Distrito Federal material of the same species. Most of the examined material came from the local IBGE, HEPH and UB Herbaria, but E and K were also visited personally and had their collections surveyed; the following Herbaria sent material (mostly types) on request: BR,EG,G,M,S,U,UEC,US. Data was stored and manipulated using the Hypertaxonomy software designed by Dr. Flemming Skov for systematic studies in Botany; this runs on the Hypercard application of the Apple MacIntosh. Keys to flowering, sterile and fruiting...
