Eugenia paranapanemensis, also called Pitanga-amarela, is a large forest tree from Brazil that can reach about 27 m tall, described in 2022 and known from very few wild trees. It is a rare native species of humid subtropical rainforest, not a common garden plant.
Eugenia paranapanemensis or Pitanga-amarela is a flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae, and was first formally described in 2022 by Karinne Valdemarin et al. It is a large tree which reaches 27 meters (88.5 ft) in height, significantly taller than most species in the genus Eugenia. It is native to Southeast Brazil and can be found in the Mata Atântica rainforest of São Paulo state.
Holotype botanical material can be found at the SORO Herbarium at the Federal University of São Carlos – Sorocaba campus, and duplicate material at the Herbarium Collection of the University of São Paulo.
Eugenia paranapanemensis is found in semideciduous forests at an altitude around 630m. E. paranapanemensis is found in a humid sub-tropical climate where the mean annual temperature is 18 °C (64 °F), and with moderate rainfall.
