Eugenia macedoi is known only by two specimens colected in Minas Gerais and Goiás States (Brazil). This species is a shrub growing in the Cerrado biome (like savannas).

This species has glabrescent leaves without cartilaginous margins, dots visible on both faces, leaf apices are acute, and the hypanthium is velutinous.
