Additional nomenclatural and taxonomic notes in Miconieae (Melastomataceae)

Abstract:

In order to correct oversights and mistakes made by us while transferring species names to Miconia from other genera of the tribe Miconieae, we propose the following new names and combinations: Miconia durandii, Miconia hermogenesii, Miconia macropetala, Miconia reptans, Miconia retropila, Miconia riedeliana, Miconia trichocalyx, and Miconia verruculosa. We also discuss the nomenclatural status of Clidemia deflexa, Melastoma melanophyllum (Clidemia melanophylla) and Staphidiastrum polystachyum (Sagraea polystachya).
