Myrtaceae is recognized for being one of the most abundant angiosperm family in greater part of brazilian vegetational formation, always appearing between the most representative families on the floristic surveys. The family is also well represented on the Cerrado s phytophysiognomies, mostly the campo rupestres , emerging between the 10 families with the highest richness at the already inventoried areas. Myrcia DC., one of the family most representative genus, shows about 400 species, with Minas Gerais and Goias states considered the main distribution center. This study has the purpose to catalog Myrcia s species that occur at Minas Gerais campos rupestres , providing diagnosis, occurrence and conservation data for the species from Minas Gerais state. The checklist were carried out amongst the analysis of nearly 2.500 exsicatas of Myrcia stored at BHCB, HUFU, MBM, OUPR, RB, SP, SPF and UEC herbaria. Additional collect were realized at the Ouro Branco, Ouro Preto, Lavras Novas, Biribiri, Milho Verde, Conselheiro Mata, Diamantina, Mendanha, Cabral, Cristália, Grão-Mogol and Botumirim slopes. Myrcia is represented at Minas Gerais campos rupestres for 42 species, twelve of this species has a vast distribution on the state, which arises practically all campos rupestres area. From this amount, 23 species crop up in campo rupeste , as in cerrado s.s. or in forest formations associated with campos rupestres physiognomy. Nine species occurs only in campo rupestre in Minas Gerais, and shows restrict distribution to a few areas in the state, cause of it they are considered typical of these areas. In reference of the conservation status, 26 species are related to the vulnerable category, two at the endangered and other two at the critically endangered categories. Only twelve species are included at the low risk category, for being abundant and well distributed at Minas Gerais slopes.
