Abstract

The name Miconia densiflora Cogniaux is a later homonym of M. densiflora (Gardner) Naudin, but since we propose it as a taxonomic synoym of M. caudata (Bonpl.) DC., we do not provide a new name. The name Miconia longicuspis Herzog is a later homonym of M. longicuspis Cogn. and we here propose its replacement by M. longicuspidata Renner & R.Goldenb.
