Ok - last one!
  • Plinia spirito-santensis (jabuticaba peluda de cruz, hairy cross jaboticaba, or 'Grimal')

Good luck. It would be nice to have reliable reference pictures. I have pictures of many on your list but few are my own pictures, and those are of small plants without 100% certainty of ID. You could try reaching out to some of the collectors in Brazil, bananasraras or e-jardim. A few people on here have sizeable collections. Plinia spirito-santensis is considered different from Grimal. It looks like colecionandofrutas considers M. trunciflora to be P. peruviana now?

Thanks Nate. There are plenty of images of some of these species online – just none that I can use!

It seems that M. trunciflora has officially been a synonym of P. peruviana since 2003: http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:599396-1

Spirito Santensis and Grimal are different.

There are Peruviana’s that look totally different from Trunciflora

Ok - last one!

Now that sounds like areal challenge. You might have to go back to the 1976 Mattos descriptions for some untangle aureana and phitrantha before even rounding up the ones under the banners of cauliflora and jaboticaba
