Novelties in Centronia and Meriania (Merianieae, Melastomataceae) and a taxonomic revision of Meriania brachycera group
A historical review, the circumscription problems and nomenclatural changes based upon a phylogenetic morphological analysis of the genus Centronia are presented. In this framework, four Andean species of Centronia are transfered to the genus Meriania (M. brachycera, M. haemantha, M. mutabilis and M...
