A Monograph of Conostegia (Melastomataceae, Miconieae). [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2016 A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis identified a clade containing all species of Conostegia, but that also included species of Clidemia and Miconia nested inside. A taxonomic revision of a more broadly circumscribed Conostegia is presented here. In total, 77 species of Conostegia are recognized.
