Abstract

The name Miconia densiflora Cogn. (1886) is a later homonym of M. densiflora (Gardner) Naudin (1851), but since we propose it as a taxonomic synonym of M. caudata (Bonpl.) DC. (1828), we do not provide a new name. The name Miconia longicuspis Herzog (1909) is a later homonym of M. longicuspis Cogn. (1891) and we here propose its replacement by M. longicuspidata S.S. Renner & R. Goldenb.
