“…Dentre as características relevantes das Myrtaceae destacam-se os potenciais melífero (Lughadha & Proença, 1996) e frutífero (Landrum & Kawasaki, 1997), pois seus frutos são suculentos e carnosos, alimentando a fauna silvestre, como aves, roedores, macacos, morcegos e peixes (Barroso et al, 1999). Essa interação entre os dispersores e as Myrtaceae favorece a manutenção de serviços ambientais, estimulando o processo de regeneração natural, o que caracteriza essa família com potencial para revegetação de áreas alteradas (Backes & Irgang, 2002).…”

“…Considering the pollination mechanism and the mass flowering of the studied species (Silva & Pinheiro 2007), self-compatibility can be responsible for an increase in fruit-set by geitonogamy, also reported in other Myrtaceae species (Lughadha & Proença 1996;Schmidt-Adam et al 2000;Torezan-Silingardi & Oliveira 2004;Gressler et al 2006). However, in complete or partial self-incompatible species, geitonogamy can be a limiting factor for fruit and seed production (Proença & Gibbs 1994;Mahoro 2003).…”

“…Eugenia, with nearly 1000 species, is one of the most representative genera of Myrtaceae (Merwe et al 2005), subfamily Myrtoideae, which includes genera with fleshy fruits (Lughadha & Proença 1996). Myrtaceae is an ecologically important family in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest (Mori et al 1983) and represents the largest number of species in the Brazilian restinga (Araújo & Henriques 1984;Lemos et al 2001;Assis et al 2004).…”

“…All five species of Myrteae have a compitum in the ovary, which is a frequently used character among species of Myrtaceae that have axile placentation (Lughadha & Proença 1996). Carr & Carr (1961) considered the compitum (eu-syncarpous ginoecium) as a connection between the carpels that allows pollen tubes from grains germinating on any stigma or part of the stigma to fertilize ovules belonging to more than one carpel.…”

“…Diff erent fl oral characters have been investigated with regard to the phylogeny Myrtaceae, such as studies of the gynoecium (Pimentel et al 2014) and fl oral anatomy (Schmid 1972b;c;Volgin & Stepanova 2001;2002a;b;2004;Lopes 2008;Costa et al 2010;Pimentel 2010;MoreiraConeglian 2011;Pires & Souza 2011).…”
