Wild Flowering Plants
Myrtaceae
Myrcia neoelegans K.Campbell & K.Samra
Windward Islands.
Tree of the semi-evergreen seasonal forest and lower montane rainforest boundary, Pont des Serpents, Mon Parasol, Anse-La-Raye.
A small population.
There may well be other populations in the surrounding very inaccesible areas. The trees were sterile but twigs were strongly keeled, characteristic of this species.
In addition I later found an unlabelled but fruiting herbarium specimen of Laurent Jean-Pierre, collected in exactly the same location, which appears to be this species.
