Genus of Melastomataceae plants
Microlicia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Melastomataceae , native to northern South America, particularly Brazil. They tend to be subshrubs.[ 3]
Microlicia was first described by David Don in 1823.[ 2] In 2021 Versiane et al. discovered that Microlicia was paraphyletic , and expended it to include the related genera Chaetostoma, Lavoisiera, Stenodon , and Trembleya .[ 4] The newly circumscribed genus, with 276 species, is one of the largest in family Melastomataeae.[ 2] [ 4] The genus name Trembleya was in honour of Abraham Trembley (1710–1784) a Genevan naturalist, Jean Trembley (1704–1785), a Swiss mathematician, and also Jacques-André Trembley (1714–1763), a Swiss botanist.[ 5]
