<p>The name <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia densiflora</tp:taxon-name></italic> Cogn.

The name <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia longicuspis</tp:taxon-name></italic> <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Herzog (1909)</xref> is a later homonym of <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia longicuspis</tp:taxon-name></italic> Cogn.

<sec sec-type="Introduction"><title>Introduction</title>
<p>The site <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">Melastomataceae.net</xref> provides a portal to open-access databases dealing with <tp:taxon-name>Melastomataceae</tp:taxon-name>, a pan-tropical family of about 3500 species. Among the databases that can be accessed at this site is “MEL names,” which deals with the ca. 13,278 names of <tp:taxon-name>Melastomataceae</tp:taxon-name> and <tp:taxon-name>Memecylaceae</tp:taxon-name> (= <tp:taxon-name>Melastomataceae</tp:taxon-name> subfamily <tp:taxon-name>Olisbeoideae</tp:taxon-name>) and provides information on recognized species, synonyms, and relevant literature. In the course of dealing with the 1497 names available for <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia</tp:taxon-name></italic> Ruiz & Pav., a genus of at least 1061 accepted species, we discovered two homonymy problems, resolved here. Since one of the homonyms is actually a heterotypic synonym of another species, a replacement name is only needed for one of these species. A comprehensive taxonomic treatment of <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia</tp:taxon-name></italic> is currently in preparation, as part of the PBI Miconieae project (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="sweetgum.nybg.org/melastomataceae/" xlink:type="simple">sweetgum.nybg.org/melastomataceae/ </ext-link>).</p>

<p> <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia longicuspis</tp:taxon-name></italic> Herzog is a later homonym of <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia longicuspis</tp:taxon-name></italic> Cogn., a treelet from eastern Brazil (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">Goldenberg and Reginato 2006</xref>). <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia longicuspidata</tp:taxon-name></italic> is known only from the holotype at Z, a collection by Theodor Herzog (1880-1961) in the mountains of Cuñucú, Bolivia, in 1907. We have found no isotypes or type photos in G, JE, L, U, W, or WAG. This species most closely matches <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia abbreviata</tp:taxon-name></italic> Markgr., a widespread shrub that ranges from Bolivia throughout the Amazon basin to the Guianas, but differs in the much denser secondary venation. In <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia abbreviata</tp:taxon-name></italic> the secondaries are spaced at about 0.5–0.7 mm apart, in <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia longicuspidata</tp:taxon-name></italic>, only 2–3 mm apart. Theodor Herzog was an expert mountaineer and collector, who explored widely in Bolivia. During his two expeditions to that country in 1907/08 and 1910/11, he collected about 600 species of vascular plants. In 1910, Herzog not only explored the Cordillera Santa Cruz, where <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia longicuspidata</tp:taxon-name></italic> appears to be endemic, but also surveyed the Cordillera de Cocapata, a range of peaks near Cochabamba extending northwest for about 100 kilometers. A description of the flora of the Cordillera de Santa Cruz is given in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Herzog (1910)</xref>. A color photograph of the type is available at http://www.zuerich-herbarien.uzh.ch.</p>

<p> <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia densiflora</tp:taxon-name></italic> Cogn. is a later homonym of <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia densiflora</tp:taxon-name></italic> (Gardner) Naudin, which in turn is a taxonomic synonym of <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia pusilliflora</tp:taxon-name></italic> (DC.) Triana, a shrub from eastern Brazil (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Cogniaux 1891</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">Goldenberg 2000</xref>). By contrast, Cogniaux’ <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia densiflora</tp:taxon-name></italic> is based on a collection made by Lehmann near Popayán, in<!--PageBreak--> the State of Cauca, Colombia, in 1883. The name is undoubtedly a taxonomic synonym of the common and frequently collected <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia caudata</tp:taxon-name></italic> (Bonpl.) DC. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Cogniaux (1891: 736, 739)</xref> erroneously states that <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia caudata</tp:taxon-name></italic> has glandular-pubescent filaments, while <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia densiflora</tp:taxon-name></italic> has glabrous ones. However, all 15 specimens of <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia caudata</tp:taxon-name></italic> that we checked had completely glabrous filaments. A color photograph of <italic><tp:taxon-name>Miconia densiflora</tp:taxon-name></italic>’s type is available at http://www.botany.si.edu/types.</p>
