Following glaziou’s footsteps: rediscovery and updated description of three species of behuria cham. (melastomataceae) from the Atlantic forest (Brazil)

This study was carried out in the state of Rio de Janeiro and led to the rediscovery of three endemic and threatened species of Behuria (Melastomataceae). The type specimens for these species were collected by the French botanist A.F.M. Glaziou. Behuria corymbosa and Behuria glazioviana were collected for the last time 127 years ago by him, in 1889. Behuria mourae was collected twice after the type; the last collection dates from about 72 years ago. In order to find the exact localities where Glaziou collected these three species we studied the labels of the type specimens, Glaziou’s notebooks and letters, looking for tracks that would lead us to places that he visited. We also consulted documents from a local library and gathered information from local people. Here we present updated descriptions, comments, photos and conservation assessments for each species.3023229240CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPES306852/2013-6Sem informaçã

Behuria lumiarensis (Melastomataceae), a new species on a mountaintop of the brazilian Atlantic Forest

We describe and illustrate Behuria lumiarensis, a new species from the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It has been collected only once in montane vegetation in the Municipality of Nova Friburgo. The new species can be recognized by the combination of leaf blades with adaxial surface covered with sessile glands and abaxial surface moderately covered with stalked glands only on the veins, hypanthium sparsely covered with stalked glands, a large calyx tube with narrow sepals that are not apiculate in the apex, small petals, and glabrous ovary apex.3052111117CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO - CNPQCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR - CAPES457510/2014-5; 306852/2013-6Sem informaçã
