Mattos • Cuiavus Trew • Episyzygium Suess. & A.Ludw. • Guajava Mill. • Guayaba Noronha • Mitropsidium Burret Guavas (singular guava, /ˈɡwɑː.və/) are plants in the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae) genus Psidium, which contains about 100 species of tropical shrubs and small trees. They are native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. Guavas are now cultivated and naturalized throughout the tropics and subtropics in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, subtropical regions of North America, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia and Spain. Guava 2 Types The most frequently eaten species, and the one often simply referred to as "the guava", is the Apple Guava (Psidium guajava).Wikipedia:Citation needed. Guavas are typical Myrtoideae, with tough dark leaves that are opposite, simple, elliptic to ovate and 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) long. The flowers are white, with five petals and numerous stamens. The genera Accara and Feijoa (= Acca, Pineapple Guava) were formerly included in Psidium.Wikipedia:Citation needed Apple Guava (Psidium guajava) flower Common names The term "guava" appears to derive from Arawak guayabo "guava tree", via the Spanish guayaba. It has been adapted in many European and Asian languages, having a similar form. Another term for guavas is pera, derived from pear. -
Unifying Knowledge for Sustainability in the Western Hemisphere
Inventorying and Monitoring of Tropical Dry Forests Tree Diversity in Jalisco, Mexico Using a Geographical Information System Efren Hernandez-Alvarez, Ph. Dr. Candidate, Department of Forest Biometrics, University of Freiburg, Germany Dr. Dieter R. Pelz, Professor and head of Department of Forest Biometrics, University of Freiburg, Germany Dr. Carlos Rodriguez Franco, International Affairs Specialist, USDA-ARS Office of International Research Programs, Beltsville, MD Abstract—Tropical dry forests in Mexico are an outstanding natural resource, due to the large surface area they cover. This ecosystem can be found from Baja California Norte to Chiapas on the eastern coast of the country. On the Gulf of Mexico side it grows from Tamaulipas to Yucatan. This is an ecosystem that is home to a wide diversity of plants, which include 114 tree species. These species lose their leaves for long periods of time during the year. This plant community prospers at altitudes varying from sea level up to 1700 meters, in a wide range of soil conditions. Studies regarding land attributes with full identification of tree species are scarce in Mexico. However, documenting the tree species composition of this ecosystem, and the environment conditions where it develops is good beginning to assess the diversity that can be found there. A geo- graphical information system overlapping 4 layers of information was applied to define ecological units as a basic element that combines a series of homogeneous biotic and environmental factors that define specific growing conditions for several plant species. These ecological units were sampled to document tree species diversity in a land track of 4662 ha, known as “Arroyo Cuenca la Quebrada” located at Tomatlan, Jalisco. -

Resumen Los estudios basados en la identificación de flavonoides, representan una importante herramienta para la obtención de caracteres útiles en tratamientos taxonómicos. Considerando que el género Psidium en Venezuela no ha recibido la debida atención en este sentido, y que dentro de la familia Myrtaceae es uno de los grupos con un alto número de representantes en el país, en este trabajo se planteó como objetivo determinar los principales flavonoides presentes en espe- cies de Psidium reportadas para Venezuela, con la finalidad de obtener datos útiles que permitan esclarecer, junto a otras fuentes de información, las relacio- nes taxonómicas dentro del mismo. Se evaluaron las especies: Psidium acutangulum, P. guajava, P. guineense, P. maribense, P. salutare, P. sartorianum y Calycolpus moritzianus, recolectadas en diversas localidades del país, cuyas hojas se sometieron a una hidrólisis ácida y posterior determinación empleando HPLC. Se identificaron los flavonoides miricetina, luteonina, quercetina, apigenina y kaempferol. La información obtenida se analizó a través de las técnicas multivariadas: Cluster y Componentes Principales. Los resultados determina- ron la formación de 5 grupos donde las especies de Psidium y C. -

Chalannavar, Venugopala K. Narayanaswamy, Himansu Baijnath and Bharti Odhav* Department of Biotechnology and Food Technology, Durban University of Technology, Durban - 4001, South Africa Accepted 21 December, 2012 The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of dried leaves of Psidium cattleianum var. cattleianum was analysed by gas chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of seventy six compounds, representing 97.5% of the oil were identified. The major constituents of the essential oil were caryophyllene oxide (29.56%), alloaromadendrene oxide-(1) (6.82%), 12-oxabicyclo [9.1.0] dodeca-3,7-diene (5.85%) and 1H-cycloprop[e]azulene (3.49%). High concentration of caryophyllene oxide in the oil suggests its usefulness as natural preservative in food industry.

Psidium (Myrtaceae)
Rodriguésia 68(5): 1791-1805. 2017 http://rodriguesia.jbrj.gov.br DOI: 10.1590/2175-7860201768515 Flora of Espírito Santo: Psidium (Myrtaceae) Amélia C. Tuler1,3, Tatiana T. Carrijo2, Márcia F.S. Ferreria2 & Ariane L. Peixoto1 Abstract This study presents a floristic-taxonomic treatment of Psidium in the state of Espírito Santo, and is a result of fieldwork combined with analyses of herbarium specimens. Fourteen species of the genus were recognized in Espírito Santo state (P. brownianum, P. cattleianum, P. cauliflorum, P. guajava, P. guineense, P. longipetiolatum, P. myrtoides, P. oblongatum, P. oligospermum, P. ovale, P. rhombeum, P. rufum P. sartorianum, and Psidium sp.), accounting for about 34% of the species richness estimated for the genus in the Atlantic Rainforest biome. The species occur predominantly in lowland forests up to 700 meters above sea level. These areas are highly threatened due to urbanization of coastal areas and agricultural expansion in the state Espírito Santo. Therefore, the conservation of Psidium species in this state requires the creation of more lowland protected areas. Key words: Atlantic Rainforest, diversity, Myrteae, taxonomy. Resumo Este estudo apresenta o tratamento florístico-taxonômico para o gênero Psidium no estado do Espírito Santo, e resulta de trabalho de campo, combinado à análise de espécimes de herbário. Quatorze espécies do gênero foram reconhecidas no Espírito Santo (P. brownianum, P. cattleianum, P. cauliflorum, P. guajava, P. guineense, P. longipetiolatum, P. myrtoides, P. oblongatum, P. oligospermum, P. ovale, P. rhombeum, P. rufum P. sartorianum e Psidium sp.), representando cerca de 34% da riqueza de espécies estimada para o gênero na Floresta Atlântica.
