Syn. nov. — Figs. 1 &amp; 2.</p><p>Cogniaux (1888: 509; 1891: 1011) noted that when combining Melastoma capillaris Sw. in the genus Leandra, Raddi (1829: 141) misidentified one of his collections under the newly proposed combination ( L. capillaris (Sw.) Raddi). Therefore, Cogniaux (1888: 509) proposed a new species, C. raddiana Cogn., to accommodate this new sample, which was assumed to be a distinct taxon from M. capillaris, and mentioned in the synonymy only L. capillaris, excluding M. capillaris . He and did not use the epithet capillaris because it had previously been used in Clidemia for both C. capillaris Don (1823: 308) [= Miconia leptopus (Triana) Michelangeli &amp; R.Goldenberg) and C. capillaris (Swartz) Grisebach (1860: 184) (= Miconia capillaris (Sw.) Gómez)].</p><p>Cogniaux (1888: 509) mentioned that he had not seen Raddi’s specimen but that his description was based on the description and figure of Raddi (1829), and noted as material examined “habitat in prov. Rio de Janeiro secund. Raddi”, which presumably refers to the specimen analyzed by Raddi. Thus, Cogniaux (1888) created a new taxon based on Raddi’s description and figure, according to the ICN (Turland et al. 2018: Art. 41). The differences between C. raddiana and Melastoma capillaris, mainly in the morphology of the leaf and geographic distribution, support the exclusion of M. capillaris from the synonymy of C. raddiana according to Cogniaux (1888: 509), as a distinct species.</p><p>Goldenberg &amp; Baldini (2002: 740) noted that most collections of Melastomataceae studied by Raddi came from the city of Rio de Janeiro and environs. They commented that it is almost certain that the collections of Melastomataceae in the PI herbarium were those used by Raddi for the descriptions presented in two important publications (Raddi 1820, 1829), since they bear annotations in Raddi’s own handwriting. Goldenberg &amp; Baldini also pointed out that Raddi’s collections, now in the FI herbarium, were deposited as part of the first access to the material from his trip to Brazil, having been re-labeled by F. Parlatore after Raddi’s death, in 1829, and usually mentioning “ In Brasilia legit Cl. Raddi ” or “Erbario del Brasile di Raddi”. In the FI herbarium we found a specimen (Raddi s.n. FI-010743) with a label reading “Typus”, in addition to three other labels: one reading “ In Brasilia legit Cl. Raddi ”; another “ Clidemia raddiana Cogn., det J. J. Wurdack 1970”, and a third “ Sagraea capilliflora; Leandra capillaris Raddi, t. 5, f. 6” (Figs. 2, 3). Presumably, this was the specimen used by Raddi (1829) to illustrate L. capillaris in his work, and we designate it as the lectotype of C. raddiana according to the ICN (Turland et al., 2018: Art. 9.12 and Rec. 9A.1).</p><p>Clidemia raddiana present the same set of diagnostic characters as M. capilliflora: plants apparently glabrous; inflorescences axillar, lax, with capillary branches; flowers tetramerous; hypanthium urceolate, with sparse glandular trichomes; and calyx with internal lobe short-triangular and external lobe triangular-subulate. Thus, we here propose C. raddiana as a synonym of M. capilliflora .</p><p>Reginato (2016: 33), based on morphological and phylogenetic studies, transferred C. capilliflora (Naudin) Cogn. to Leandra, establishing L. capilliflora (Naudin) Reginato. He did not mention C. raddiana, probably because he was not aware of the nomenclatural problems associated with this name and did not know about Raddi’s collection. In the later transfer to Miconia by Michelangeli et al. (2019), this issue was also not mentioned.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AA87A8FF88FFA5F6C462616313F832	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Candolle (1828: 170) transferred this species to Sagraea, probably because of the tetramerous flowers; he presented a short description, and as a specimen examined Bertero s.n., collected in Jamaica.</p><p>Raddi (1829: 141), while establishing the genus Leandra, associated to it all the species belonging to Melastoma L. that consistently present the calyx divided into lobes, and with dorsal teeth. In that work, he proposed L. capillaris (Swartz) Raddi, a name based on Melastoma capillaris Swartz (1788: 71), and validly published (Turland et al. 2018: Art. 7.3).</p><p>Gómez de la Maza (1894) provided a plant list for Cuba based on specimens collected by C. Wright and on data from the works of Grisebach (1868) and Sauvalle (1873).Among several species of Melastomataceae he listed “ Miconia (Oxymeris) capillaris [ Melastoma Sw.; Sagraea Cand., Gray Cl.; Ossaea, Sauval., Nome]”, indirectly proposing a new combination for Melastoma capillaris Sw. He did not provide any description, comments, or specimens examined.</p><p>Domin (1930: 43) established Clidemia insularis as a new name for C. capillaris Griseb., and cited in the synonymy “ Melastoma capillaris Sw., C. capillaris Gris., non Don 1823, Sagraea capillaris DC., Ossaea capillaris Wright ”. Domin (1930) proposed this new name because the epithet capillaris was already occupied in the genus Clidemia . Since none of these authors explicitly mentioned the repository herbarium of the respective collections studied, and since Swartz’s collections were housed at the Regnellian herbarium, which was eventually merged with the herbarium S, we indicate the specimen Swartz s.n. (S R-3455) as the lectotype of Melastoma capillaris . This specimen was identified by the collector himself; it is fertile and morphologically representative of the circumscription of the species. Another three specimens of M. capillaris belonging to the Swartz s.n. collection are in the herbaria BM (BM-001008291), C (C-100145543) and SBT (SBT-12614); this last was identified by J.J. Wurdack as C. capillaris, in 1969. All these specimens are here recognized as isolectotypes.</p><p>Miconia capillaris and M. capilliflora share some morphological characters (e.g., tetramerous flowers) that have contributed to their misidentification, but in fact they are distinct species based on both the description and geography. The latter is endemic to the Brazilian coast, whereas M. capillaris occurs in Cuba, Dominica and Jamaica (Domin 1930). Miconia capillaris is distinguished from M. capilliflora by chartaceous leaves (vs. membranaceous), narrowly lanceolate leaf blades (vs. widely elliptic to obovate), attenuate apex (vs. acuminate), revolute margins (vs. plain), 3 basal acrodromous veins (vs. 3–5 basal or suprabasal) and ovate-lanceolate anthers (vs. linear-subulate).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AA87A8FF8CFFA3F6C467AB6276FAC2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lamb.), collected in Peru, and noted that the specific name was proposed by the collector himself in a manuscript. Triana (1871: 147) transferred C. capillaris to Ossaea, but gave it a new name, O. leptopus, and listed in the synonymy “ C1idemia 1eptopus Mart. mss., C. capillaris Don, Me 1astoma capillaris Pav. mss. non Swartz”. Cogniaux (1888: 551) also transferred C. capillaris to Ossaea [ O. capillaris (Don) Cogn.], and listed in the synonymy “ Clidemia capillaris Don, Melastoma capillaris Pav. msc. ex Don (non Sw.), Ossaea leptopus Triana, Clidemia leptopus Mart. msc. ex Triana ”. However, he created a later homonym since Wright (1868: 435) had already proposed the name O. capillaris, based on Melastoma capillaris Swartz.</p><p>The epithet M. capillaris Pav. was cited by Candolle (1828: 157) in schedulae, while Triana (1871: 147) cited this same name and “ C. leptopus Mart. mss.” as synonyms (pro syn.), but neither name was validly published.</p><p>Ruiz &amp; Pavón’s collections were deposited at A. B. Lambert’s herbarium, in London (Miller 1970). This herbarium was auctioned after its owner’s death, and Ruiz &amp; Pavón’s collection was divided in lots to be sold; it is difficult to settle the precise location where the collections are housed nowadays, but they were mainly transfered to B, BM, CGE, F, G, GH, LE, MO, NY, OXF, US (Miller 1970). We consulted these herbaria but no specimen of C. capillaris collected by Pavón was located.</p><p>Triana (1871) analyzed four collections: Haenke s.n., Mathews 1723, Pavón s.n. and Poeppig 1094. Since the original material used by Don (1823) to describe C. capillaris was not found, we here indicate Mathews 1723 (BM) as the neotype of this basionym according to ICN (Turland et al. 2018:Art. 9.8), since it is well preserved, morphologically circumscribes the species, and has immature fruits.</p><p>Souza (1998) revised the genus Ossaea and indicated the specimen Mathews 1723 (BM) as the lectotype of O. leptopus (Souza 1998) . However, this specimen is not part of the protologue of C. capillaris, and it cannot be designated as the lectotype according to Art. 9.3 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018).</p><p>Miconia leptopus occurs in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Brazil, where it is found only in the states of Acre and Amazonas. It differs from Miconia capillaris mainly by the branches and adaxial surface of the leaves sparsely to densely sericeous (vs. glabrous); leaf blade with rounded to obtuse base (vs. acute to obtuse) and ciliate margin (vs. non-ciliate); marsupiform domatia (vs. domatia absent); 3(5)+2 acrodromous nerves, the inner suprabasal, usually alternate, and the outer pair basal or ca. 1 mm suprabasal (vs. 3 acrodromous basal nerves); and flowers pentamerous (vs. tetramerous).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AA87A8FF8CFFA1F6C46261662FFD84	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
