“…Only about 10% of the species of Melastomataceae are known cytologically, but some patterns of chromosomal evolution are evident. Chromosome number stasis at the diploid level and recurrent cycles of polyploidy and dysploidy are common ( Almeda 2013 ; Almeda and Penneys 2022 ). The base number attributed to the family is x = 12 ( Almeda 2013 ).…”

“…The base number attributed to the family is x = 12 ( Almeda 2013 ). Lavoisiereae is quite uniform with x = 12 and tetraploidy based on that number, while Rhynchanthera differs in having x = 10 and tetraploidy on that base number ( Almeda and Penneys 2022 ). In the Trembleya s.s. clade, chromosome counts are available only for two species.…”

“…In the Trembleya s.s. clade, chromosome counts are available only for two species. The diploid M. parviflora has n = 12 and the tetraploid M. pentagona has n = 24 ( Almeda and Penneys 2022 ).…”

A systematic monograph of the Trembleya s.s. clade is presented, a Brazilian endemic lineage of Melastomataceae comprising 11 species and currently recognised as part of Microlicia s.l. (Melastomataceae). First, we investigate phylogenetic relationships within Lavoisiereae using two nuclear markers and two sampling datasets (102 and 134 terminals). Then, we provide a systematic revision and new circumscription of the Trembleya s.s. clade, including line drawings, photos of living specimens, leaves and floral parts, distribution maps, a key to the 11 accepted species, comments on morphology, reproductive biology, richness, endemism, biogeography and recommended conservation assessments. A nomenclatural update of all taxa previously treated in Trembleya is also provided, including the designation of 45 lectotypes and the proposal of 38 new synonyms.
