Eugenia petrikensis
''Eugenia petrikensis'' is a species of flowering plants belonging to the genus ''Eugenia'' and was described in 2012 by Neil Snow and coauthors. It is a large shrub with magenta-coloured flowers and was discovered from Toliara Province at the eastern shoreline of Madagascar. It is one of the seven novel species of ''Eugenia'' described from the region, in addition to ''E. guajavoides'', ''E. manonae'', ''E. stictophylla'', ''E. roseopetiolata'' and ''E. stibephylla''. It is an endangered species according to the IUCN Red List. The specific epithet is derived from the name of the area, Petriky, from where it was discovered.
The plant was among the ''Top 10 New Species'' discovered in 2012 selected by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University out of more than 140 nominated species among more than 18,000 new species. The uniqueness is its rare occurrence, a large shrub with its beautiful bunch of flowers hanging on its branchlets. The selection was publicised on 22 May 2013.
==Nomenclature==
''E. petrikensis'' is so named as it was found in the Petriky Forest (and also in the adjacent Ambinanibe Forest). The Malagasy name is ''ropasy lahiny''. ''Ropasy'' is a contraction of ''rotra'' (a vernacular name for ''Eugenia'') and ''fasika'', which refers to sand; thus ''ropasy'' means "''Eugenia'' that grows on sand". When more than one species of a genus is found in the region a second name is often added for distinction, such as ''lahiny'' for male or ''vaviny'' for female.
