Guim., Oliveira da Silva &amp; Michelangeli, comb. nov. (Figs. 1, 2) Basionym: Purpurella cleistoflora Ule (1895: 418&#x2013;419). Type:&#x2014; BRAZIL. Rio de Janeiro: &#x201C;Serra do Itatiaia &#x201D; (in the label), &#x201C;habitat in campis ad Serram Itatiaiae, in altitudine 2100&#x2013;2400 metrum&#x201D; (in the protologue), E.H.G. Ule 3349 (Holotype B&#x2020;, photo F!, Lectotype HBG [522987], here designated, Isolectotypes: HBG [522988, 522989?]). Homotypic synonyms:&#x2014; Purpurella cleistopetala Ule (1896: 169) nom. superfl. et illeg.; Itatiaia cleistopetala (Ule) Ule (1908: 235) nom. illeg. Subshrubs, prostrate; branches sub-tetragonal, not angled, covered with pilose and appressed-strigose hairs, as the stem, petioles and pedicels. Leaves opposite, flat; petioles 1&#x2013;2 mm long; blade 3&#x2013;6 &#xD7; 2&#x2013;5 mm, oval, oval to elliptic, base rounded to truncate, apex acute to acuminate, margin ciliate, adaxial surface glabrous or sparsely pilose, abaxial surface glabrous to pilose, 3-nerved, veins confluent at the base. Inflorescence reduced to one terminal flower; pedicels ca. 0.5 mm long; bracteoles 2, 4&#x2013;5 &#xD7; 0.8&#x2013;1.2 mm, flat, lanceolate, apex acute, margin ciliate, caducous after anthesis; Flowers 4-merous, hypanthium 2.5&#x2013;3 mm long, campanulate, moderately covered with strigose hairs and sparsely covered with basal glandular trichomes; calyx lobes lanceolate, apex acute, caducous in fruit; corolla globose; petals 8&#x2013;10 &#xD7; 5&#x2013;6 mm, white, obovate; stamens 8, isomorphic, filaments 2.5&#x2013;3 mm long, white, glabrous, connective not prolonged, ventral appendage bicalcarate, 1&#x2013;1.5 mm long, thecae 1&#x2013;1.5 mm long, purple, linear, apex truncate. Ovary basal half adhered to hypanthium; style 5&#x2013;6 mm long, glabrous. Capsule 4&#x2013;5 mm long; seeds cochleate. Features: Pleroma cleistoflora is a prostrate subshrub with many adventitious roots, that can be recognized by its 4-merous, closed flowers at anthesis, and stamens with ventral bicalcarate appendages equal in size to the thecae. The other representatives of Pleroma usually have ventral appendages that are smaller than the thecae. Habitat and distribution:&amp;horbar; Pleroma cleistoflora is endemic to southeastern Brazil. It occurs on moist soils and shaded places in a few localities on the highlands of Itatiaia National Park, between 2,200 &#x2013;2,430 m elevation, in an area of approximately 10 km 2 (Pinheiro 2013), along the border between Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais States (Baumgratz 2014). As a result of its restricted area of occurrence, it is probably endangered; however, a paper including considerations on its geographic distribution patterns and conservation strategies is in preparation (Felipe Pinheiro, pers. comm.) Phenology:&amp;horbar; This species has been collected with flowers and fruits from November to May. Although a single experiment has verified the presence of nectar in flowers (Pinheiro 2013), no other study was conducted to confirm the occurrence of cleistogamy, seed dispersal or vegetative propagation.
