Miconia pachydonta Gleason

Williams 4458, Williams 4693, Rusby 556.
Duplicates of the first two collections cited are in the New York Herbarium. These
plants have remained unidentified for lack of flowers, until the discovery of a
duplicate sheet of Rusby with flowers in semi-anthesis. This shows that the plant
is a Miconia, sect. Tamonea, related to Miconia dodecandra, but very obviously
distinct from it. The Bolivian plant appears conspecific with the two from Peru,
and both are probably undescribed. Further studies will be made in due time and
reported to the Field Museum.
