TL;DR: This study provides an updated description of M. gardneriana, including macroand micro-morphological data, a distribution map, and comments on conservation status, ecological and taxonomy.
Abstract: In the present work, we synonymize Micropholis compta under M. gardneriana due to the overlap of morphoanatomical characters and the absence of distinctive attributes, verified during taxonomic and anatomical study of the genus Micropholis for Brazil. This study provides an updated description of M. gardneriana, including macro- and micro-morphological data, a distribution map, and comments on conservation status, ecological and taxonomy.

TL;DR: The most important characters for distinguishing the species are: type and color of indument on the young branches, leaf shape, midrib sunken or not on the upper leaf surface, distinguishable secondary veins from the tertiary ones.
Abstract: Herein, we provide information about morphological data, geographic distribution and conservation status for native species of Micropholis from Espirito Santo state (ES), Brazil. A total of five species were found: M. compta , M. crassipedicellata , M. gardneriana , M. guyanensis subsp. guyanensis , and M. venulosa . They represent 100% of the known species of Micropholis from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. The most important characters for distinguishing the species are: type and color of indument on the young branches, leaf shape, midrib sunken or not on the upper leaf surface, distinguishable secondary veins from the tertiary ones. Micropholis gardneriana constitutes a new record for the Espirito Santo state. Amongst Micropholis species from ES, only Micropholis compta is considered as Near Threatened (NT). Key words : Ericales, Atlantic rainforest, neotropics, taxonomy. Flora do Espirito Santo: Micropholis (Sapotaceae-Chrysophylloideae) 1 Flora of the Espirito Santo: Micropholis
