Miconia gigantea, a long-forgotten endemic and endangered species of Melastomataceae in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Abstract: Taxonomic and floristic studies in the state of Rio de Janeiro allowed the rediscovery of Miconia gigantea, an endemic species to the Atlantic Forest, until recently known only from the type specimen, collected over 100 years by A.F.M. Glaziou. We present an amended and detailed description of M. gigantea, providing characteristics of the flowers, fruits and seeds, in addition to illustrations, comments about taxonomic affinities with closely related species, the presently known distribution together with new … Show more

“…These efforts contribute to the development of the list of the Brazilian Flora (BFG 2018) and of the researches to solve the remaining gaps. Some of these studies demonstrated, for example, the rediscovery of species classified as presumably extinct (EX) in the São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states, which are Brazilian areas whose forests were strongly reduced (e.g., Filgueiras & Shirasuna 2009;Rodrigues & Filgueiras 2013;Rosa et al 2016).…”
