Six new species of Miconia (Miconieae, Melastomataceae) from the Andes
Phytotaxa, 2018The eastern slopes of the Andes harbor some of the greatest amount of biodiversity, much of which remains undescribed in the scientific literature. Here, we describe six new species of Miconia from the Andes, encompassing the southernmost extent of the mountain range from Peru to Bolivia. The new species include Miconia cernuiflora, Miconia cinnabarina,

Taxonomic revision of Leandra sect. Leandra (Melastomataceae, Miconieae)
Phytotaxa, 2016A taxonomic monograph of a re-circumscribed Leandra sect. Leandra is presented. The new circumscription is based on a previous phylogenetic hypothesis, and diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. Four new combinations to Leandra are proposed, one from Clidemia (L. capilliflora) and three from Ossaea (L. capitata, L.

The seed morphology of 234 species distributed among 16 genera of the tribe Miconieae (Melastomataceae) was examined and documented with the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Based on our observations and previously published investigations, we propose a set of 37 morphological characters for describing size, general shape, raphal zone ...

Taxonomic revision of Miconia sect. Calycopteris (Melastomataceae, Miconieae) in Cuba
Brittonia, 2017Miconia sect. Calycopteris consists of 13 species endemic to Cuba and Hispaniola. In this work, we give updated descriptions, nomenclatural information, geographic distributions, citation of all specimens examined, as well as habitat descriptions for each of the six species that occur on Cuba, five of which are endemic and one shared with Hispaniola ...

A new species of Miconia (Miconieae, Melastomataceae) from Northwest Ecuador
Phytotaxa, 2018A new species, Miconia yeseniae, is described and illustrated. The species is part of the Amblyarrhena section and is distinguished from others of the genus by the large (2–2.5 cm long) pink petals, the well-developed outer calyx teeth (4.9–5.1 mm long) and the 10-angular ovary. The most related species are Miconia glandulistyla, M.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2015
Conostegia has been traditionally defined to consist of 42 species in the tribe Miconieae. Recent phylogenetic studies have cast doubt on the monophyly of the genus and highlighted the need for a phylogenetic study focused on Conostegia. The purpose of this study was to test the monophyly of Conostegia and address relationships in the genus.

Taxonomic Studies in the Miconieae (Melastomataceae). I. Variation in Inflorescence Position
Brittonia, 1986In the Miconieae (Melastomataceae) the inflorescences may be either lateral (with shoots pleonanthic and plants showing Rauh's architectural model) or the terminal (with shoots hapaxanthic and plants illustrating Leeuwenberg's, or less commonly Scarrone's or Stone's, architectural models). Inflorescence position is a valuable taxonomic character in the
