Abstract

The genus Rupestrea is described to include two species previously described in Miconia. Rupestrea carvalhoana and R. johnwurdackiana are restricted to ?Campos Rupestres? at the northern portion of the ?Chapada Diamantina? in Bahia, Brazil. The genus can be recognized by the dry and indehiscent fruits that may be hydrochorous, and by the ortocampylotropous seeds with a septum dividing it incompletely into two cavities, filled with a single embryo. The genus is sister to a large clade that includes the capsular-fruited tribes Melastomeae, Microlicieae and Rhexieae.
