Taxonomic notes on Pleiochiton (Melastomataceae - Miconieae)

Abstract Here we propose lectotypification for Melastoma coccinea and Pleiochiton glaziovianum, neotypification for Clidemia suffruticosa, new combinations for C. blepharodes and C. parasitica into Pleiochiton, and the synonymization of C. suffruticosa under P. blepharodes.
