Eugenia wurdackii is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is a tree endemic to northeastern Peru.[2] It grows up to 25 metres tall. It is native to a small area along the banks of the Santiago River in Amazonas Department, near the Santiago-Comaina Reserved Zone, where it grows in lowland Amazon Rainforest from 300 to 350 metres elevation. The species is threatened by habitat loss from deforestation caused by gold mining.[1]
The species was first described as Calycorectes wurdackii by Rogers McVaugh in 1969. In 2005 Joáo Rodrigues de Mattos placed the species in genus Eugenia as E. wurdackii.[2]
