“…The peak is surrounded by areas cultivated mainly with coffee and bananas (Esgario et al 2009). The vegetation on the top is predominantly rupicolous, with herbs, shrubs, and a few trees (Bochorny & Goldenberg 2019). The "Alto Misterioso" has at least 172 plant species (Esgario et al 2009), and it is extremely important for the flora of Espírito Santo, due to its high diversity and several endemic species (see Fraga & Feres 2007;Kollmann & Fontana 2008;Esgario et al 2009;Bochorny & Goldenberg 2019).…”

It is considered one of the priority areas for biodiversity conservation in the Central Ecological Corridor of the Atlantic Forest (Esgario et al 2008), a biologically diverse area with several species that are either endangered or with restricted distribution (CEPF 2001).…”

“…The family has been the subject of floristic treatments in several localities in the state (Goldenberg & Reginato 2006;Meirelles & Goldenberg 2012;Iglesias & Dutra 2017). Furthermore, a substantial amount of new species were described in the last 20 years (Guimarães & Goldenberg 2001;Goldenberg & Reginato 2007Goldenberg & Tavares 2007;Tavares et al 2008;Goldenberg & Kollmann 2010, 2016Camargo & Goldenberg 2011;Meirelles et al 2012;Caddah & Goldenberg 2012Bacci et al , 2020Iglesias et al 2016;Bochorny & Goldenberg 2019;Bisewski et al 2020;Goldenberg et al 2020b). For the Flora of Espírito Santo, there are treatments for the genera Behuria, Cambessedesia, Dolichoura, Huberia, and Merianthera (Bochorny & Goldenberg 2017), Bertolonia (Bacci et al 2017), and Miconia .…”

Microlicieae is one of the most diverse tribes in Melastomataceae, comprising three genera: Microlicia (including the former Chaetostoma, Lavoisiera, Stenodon, and Trembleya), Poteranthera, and Rhynchanthera. It is characterized by anthers with a prolonged pedoconnective, capsular fruits, and reniform, oblong seeds with a foveolate testa. This study presents a taxonomic treatment for the species of Microlicieae in the state of Espírito Santo. A total of ten species were registered in two genera, Microlicia (9 spp.) and Rhynchanthera (1 sp.). Of these, three are new species of Microlicia: M. caparaoensis is endemic to the Caparaó National Park; M. capixaba and M. misteriosa are endemic to a single inselberg, the “Alto Misterioso”, in São Roque do Canaã. A fourth species was kept as Microlicia sp., since further studies will be necessary to confirm its identity. We also provide an identification key, morphological descriptions, distribution data, and comments for all species.
