| Abstract | Pachyanthus (Melastomataceae: Miconieae) se ha conocido históricamente como un género caribeño de arbustos y pequeños árboles, en su mayoría endémicos locales cubanos. Al igual que la mayor parte de los géneros de la tribu Miconieae este posee problemas en su delimitación genérica. En la presente monografía se reconocen 19 especies de Pachyanthus en sentido amplio, nueve de estas dentro de Pachyanthus s. str., incluso el tipo nomenclatural del género. Las especies de Pachyanthus s. str. son en su mayoría endémicos cubanos con una sola especie de América Central (Honduras, Nicaragua y Belice). Los diez taxones restantes fueron incluidos como “incertae sedis”, ya que sus relaciones filogenéticas con Pachyanthus s. str. y otros géneros de Miconieae es aún incierta (Bécquer, 2008; Bécquer et al., Botanical Review 74:37–52, 2008). Se incluye una clave con todos los taxones de Pachyanthus s.l. Las especies de Pachyanthus s. str. pueden distinguirse de otros grupos dentro de Miconieae por la combinación de los siguientes caracteres: pétalos ovados a triangular ovados o anchamente obovados, base usualmente sagitada o cordada, hasta redondeada, conspicuamente unguiculados; lóbulos del cáliz fusionados antes de la antesis, que se separan más tarde en segmentos a manera de sépalos; anteras ovadas a oblongas, rectas, amarillas, sin apéndices en el conectivo o, si presentes, inconspicuos, con dehiscencia de las anteras por un poro apical pequeño; semillas numerosas de 0.8–1.6 mm de longitud, obpiramidales, con una testa lisa. Se tipifican 17 nombres: P. angustifolius, P. brachylobus, P. cordifolius, P. discolor, P. glaber, P. lindmanii, P. mayarensis, P. monopleurus, P. ovatus, P. pedicellatus, P. poiretii, P. shaferii, P. tetramerus, P. wrightii, Miconia blancheana, M. lundelliana y M. monocephala. Pachyanthus (Melastomataceae: Miconieae) is traditionally reconnized as a Caribbean genus of shrubs and small trees, mostly local Cuban endemics. Similar to most genera in Miconieae, its generic delimitations are still unclear. Nineteen species of Pachyanthus in a broad sense are recognized in this revision, nine of them as Pachyanthus s.str., which includes the nomenclatural type of the genus. Most of the species in Pachyanthus s.str. are endemic to Cuba; only one species is distributed in Central America (Honduras, Nicaragua, and Belice). The other ten taxa are treated as “incertae sedis”, because their phylogenetic relationships with Pachyanthus s.str. and the rest of genera in Miconieae are still unclear. A key with all taxa of Pachyanthus s.l. is given. The species of Pachyanthus s.str. can be distinguished from other groups in Miconieae by the following combination of characters: petals ovate to triangular-ovate to broadly obovate, with mostly sagittate or cordate to rounded bases that are conspicuously unguiculate; calyx lobes connate before anthesis, then separating into sepal-like segments; anthers straight, ovate to oblong, yellow, and without connective appendages or, if present, then inconspicuous and anthers dehiscing by small apical pores; and seeds numerous, 0.8–1.6 mm long, obpyramidal, with a smooth testa. Seventeen names are typified: P. angustifolius, P. brachylobus, P. cordifolius, P. discolor, P. glaber, P. lindmanii, P. mayarensis, P. monopleurus, P. ovatus, P. pedicellatus, P. poiretii, P. shaferii, P. tetramerus, P. wrightii, Miconia blancheana, M. lundelliana, and M. monocephala. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
