Description
Summary:Abstract The Serra do Rola-Moça State Park is located in the central southern portion of the Espinhaço Range, in a region known as the Iron Quadrangle in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Here, we provide a list of Melastomataceae species recorded in the main vegetation types found in the park, along with identification keys and illustrated plates portraying them. Currently, 60 species in eight genera have been catalogued for the park. Miconia is the richest genus in the area (24 spp.), followed by Microlicia (19 spp.), Pleroma (eight spp.), Cambessedesia (three spp.), Chaetogastra and Fritzschia (two species each), and Marcetia and Macairea with one species each.
