Eugenia haematocarpa, also known as uvillo or Luquillo Mountain stopper, is a rare plant species in the Myrtaceae family that is endemic to Puerto Rico. It is classified as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a recovery plan has been in place for several years. This tree was first discovered in 1939 in Naguabo and is found in the Caribbean National Forest and Sierra de Cayey on the eastern side of the island. It grows in mountain forest habitats alongside other species such as Syzygium jambos and Prestoea montana. The main threat to this tree's population is habitat destruction. It is an evergreen tree with gray or whitish bark and oval, leathery leaves that grow up to 18 centimeters long. Its flowers are pink and occur in clusters on the trunk, while its fruit is a dark red berry measuring between 2 and 3 centimeters.
