Abstract
Miconia brigittei (Melastomataceae), a new species endemic to the Andes of Colombia, is described and illustrated. This species is placed in Miconia section Amblyatrrhena and is characterized by the reddish color of the leaves in dried specimens, 5-plinervate leaves, tuff domatia at the base of the secondary veins in the abaxial leaf surface, reflexed petals, connective of the anther minutely prolonged in the dorsal base, and 3-locular ovary. It grows along the Western Cordillera and north-central Cordillera Central, between 1330 and 2020 m elevation, in areas of Sub Andean and Andean Forest. Considering the distribution range, it is categorized as vulnerable. © 2018. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat.References
