- Abstract
A new species of Miconia belonging to a clade diagnosed by strongly four-lobed ovaries/hypanthia and elongated calyx teeth flattened parallel to the floral radii, i.e., the Calycogonium hispidulum complex, endemic to the Sierra Maestra of eastern Cuba, is described, illustrated, and compared with related Cuban species. The discovery of Miconia becqueri brings to 15 the number of recognized species of this complex, seven of which occur in Cuba (if Clidemia barbeyana is conspecific with C. wrightii).
