Abstract

The synonymization of Itatiaia and Purpurella pro parte under Pleroma based on morphological and geographical data and molecular evidence is made and the new combination Pleroma cleistoflora with its synonyms is provided. For Purpurella cleistoflora one of the isotypes from HBG is designed as lectotype. Illustrations, descriptions and commentaries on geographic distribution, conservation and morphological features are given.
