311. 06/1891. D'après Freire-Fierro (Syst. Bot. Monogr., 62:
80. 2002): "According to the protologue and original plate, the type has stems with short trichomes, serrate-crenulate leaves, and small, white, and pentamerous flowers. Candolle (1828) states that this species has five sepals, ten stamens, and three locules; therefore it could belong to another genus of Melastomataceae but not
Aciotis."
