摘要
Two new species of Myrtaceae are proposed for Papua New Guinea: Eugenia craveniana N. Snow & Peter G. Wilson and Gossia yelana N. Snow & Peter G. Wilson. Each species is known from a single gathering. Eugenia craveniana is contrasted with E. reinwardtiana and E. salomonica, congeneric species also occurring in Papuasia. Gossia yelana represents the seventh confirmed species of the genus for New Guinea, but none of the species appear to be common there. Although fruiting material is needed to unambiguously place both species into their respective genera, a suite of other characters and the process of elimination allow us to propose them as new species. A conservation designation of Vulnerable is proposed for both species. This paper represents Contribution No. 2009-012 to the Pacific Biological Survey.
