Eugenia haematocarpa
''Eugenia haematocarpa'' is a rare species of plant in the Myrtaceae family. It is endemic to Puerto Rico. It is federally listed as an endangered species of the United States. Its common names include ''uvillo'' and Luquillo Mountain stopper.
Specimens of this tree were first collected in 1939 in Naguabo.〔Pascarella, J. B. (2000). (A new record for the rare and endangered tree ''Eugenia haematocarpa'' Alain (Myrtaceae) in The Sierra de Cayey Mountains, Puerto Rico. ) ''Caribbean Journal of Science'' 36 1-2 146.〕 It is known from the Caribbean National Forest and the Sierra de Cayey on the eastern side of the island of Puerto Rico.
It has been observed growing amongst ''Syzygium jambos'', ''Prestoea montana'', ''Tabebuia heterophylla'', ''Ocotea leucoxylon'', ''Inga laurina'', and ''Alchornea latifolia'' in mountain forest habitat.〔 The main cause of the tree's rarity is habitat destruction.〔USFWS. (Recovery Plan for ''Pleodendron macranthum'' and ''Eugenia haematocarpa''. ) September 1998.〕
This is an evergreen tree growing up to 6 meters tall with gray or whitish bark that strips away in plates. The leathery oval leaves are up to 18 centimeters long and are borne in pairs. Flowers occur in clusters on the trunk and each has four pink petals just over 2 centimeters long. The fruit is a dark red berry between 2 and 3 centimeters in length.〔
