Comments
Miconia densiflora Cogn. is a later homonym of Miconia densiflora (Gardner) Naudin, which in turn is a taxonomic synonym of Miconia pusilliflora (DC.) Triana, a shrub from eastern Brazil (Cogniaux 1891[1]; Goldenberg 2000[2]). By contrast, Cogniaux’ Miconia densiflora is based on a collection made by Lehmann near Popayán, in the State of Cauca, Colombia, in 1883. The name is undoubtedly a taxonomic synonym of the common and frequently collected Miconia caudata (Bonpl.) DC. Cogniaux (1891: 736, 739)[1] erroneously states that Miconia caudata has glandular-pubescent filaments, while Miconia densiflora has glabrous ones. However, all 15 specimens of Miconia caudata that we checked had completely glabrous filaments. A color photograph of Miconia densiflora’s type is available at http://www.botany.si.edu/types.
