Abstract

Two new species from Ecuadorian Amazon, Calyptranthes yasuniana and Eugenia bullatifolia, are described and illustrated. Their relationships to closest relatives in these genera are discussed. One hundred and forty-nine individuals of C. yasuniana and 68 individuals of E. bullatifolia with dbh ≥ 1 cm were recorded in a 25-ha plot at Yasuní National Park.
