Melastomataceae endémicas del Perú

The Melastomataceae are represented in Peru by 43 genera and 660 species (Brako & Zarucchi, 1993; Ulloa Ulloa et al., 2004), mostly shrubs and trees. Here we recognize 169 species and 13 infraespecific taxa as endemics, in 26 genera. Miconia is the genus with the largest number of endemic species. Endemic Melastomataceae are found mainly in Very Humid Montane, Very Humid Premontane Forests and Humid Lowland Amazonian Forests regions, between 100 and 3500 m elevation. We applied IUCN categories and criteria to 83 taxa. Apparently, 29 endemic taxa have been recorded within Peru´s protected areas system.

La familia Melastomataceae es reconocida en el Perú con 43 géneros y 660 especies (Brako & Zarucchi, 1993; Ulloa Ulloa et al., 2004), principalmente arbustos y árboles. En este trabajo reconocemos 169 especies y 13 taxones subespecíficos como endemismos, en 26 géneros. El género Miconia incluye el mayor número de especies endémicas. Las Melastomataceae endémicas se encuentran principalmente en las regiones Bosques Muy Húmedos Montanos, Bosques Muy Húmedos Premontanos y Bosques Húmedos Amazónicos, entre los 100 y 3500 m de altitud. Se aplicaron las categorías y criterios de la UICN a 83 taxones. Aparentemente, 29 taxones endémicos están representados en el Sistema Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas por el Estado.
