Myrceugenia Pitra Var. Angustifolia

Pitara angustifolia, scientifically known as Myrceugenia pitra var. angustifolia, is a rare and lesser-known species of evergreen shrub native to the coastal regions of southern Brazil. This plant is part of the Myrtaceae family, which includes well-known species like eucalyptus and guava. It is characterized by its narrow, lance-shaped leaves and small, fragrant white flowers that bloom in the spring. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, Pitara angustifolia is considered vulnerable to environmental changes and habitat loss. Conservation efforts are essential to protect this unique and ecologically important plant.
