Miconia vincentiana, Miconieae, Melastomataceae, St. Vincent, supernumerary leafletsAbstract
The new combination Miconia vincentiana and a detailed description are provided for the species previously known as Clidemia vincentiana, a member of Miconia sect. Sagraea endemic to the island of St. Vincent in the Lesser Antilles. In addition, the curious supernumerary leaflets often borne on the distal portion of the petiole are described. Such structures have not been recorded from any other species of Miconieae.
