Merianthera burlemarxii (Melastomataceae) is a shrub endemic to granitic inselbergs in eastern Brazil, subject extreme temperature and water availability ranges. The plants have fistulose branches that are narrow at the bases wider apex. stem has already been mentioned as an adaptation (cauline domatia) related mutualistic association with ants (myrmecophytism). To elucidate adaptive aspects life history of M. burlemarxii, whether these adaptations survival under harsh conditions or ants, we...

We describe here two new species of Tibouchina from the Brazilian Cerrado. falcifolia is endemic to state Goiás and it can be readily recognized by lanceolate linear, conduplicate, pendulous leaves, very conspicuous hypanthium scales. It morphologically related aegopogon var. angustifolia, especially narrow but differs older branches decorticant (vs. non-decorticating), slightly discolorous leaves strongly leaves), with adaxial surface covered trichomes scales). longisquamata a Tocantins...
