Editing Eugenia rhombea (section)

== Description ==

The plant is associated with Florida limestone coastal uplands, dry forest, scrub and dry rocky hillsides. Its wider reported range includes Florida, Mexico, Central America, Venezuela and Caribbean locations.<sup id="cite_ref-3">[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> It is described as a slow-growing small shrub by one botanical-garden account, while a Florida landscape account treats it as a small tree suitable for single- or multi-trunk training. Reported size is therefore site- and treatment-dependent: approximately 15–20 ft tall and 10–15 ft wide in the Florida account, with an upper report of 8 m in a broader species compilation.<sup id="cite_ref-4">[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>

The names ''Eugenia fiscalensis'', ''Eugenia foetida'' var. ''rhombea'', ''Eugenia leptopa'' and ''Eugenia pusilana'' are recorded as synonyms. They are useful when matching older plant labels or literature, but the accepted page name is ''Eugenia rhombea''.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>
