01Narrative

Myrcia sintenisiana (synonym Marlierea sintenisii) is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to Puerto Rico, where it is limited to the Luquillo Mountains. It occurs in El Yunque National Forest in dwarf forest habitatEndemic Plant Facts - September 2010 - Marlierea sintenisii. El Yunque National Forest. USDA Forest Service. on wet mountain ridges. Its common name is beruquillo. This species can take the form of a shrub 3 or 4 meters tall or a tree up to 9 meters tall. New twigs are coated in reddish brown hairs, and older branches are bare and gray. The leaves are up to 7.5 centimeters long by 5 wide. New leaves are shiny and coppery in color. Hairy flowers grow in clusters.

05DNA & barcoding1 eDNA hits

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Myrcia sintenisiana has left across the world's sequence archives.

Where the DNA of Myrcia sintenisiana was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?

DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
