This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Pleroma eglanduliferum, Justino & P.J.F. Guim. sp. nov. a new species of Melastomataceae (Melastomateae) from the Atlantic Forest of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, is described and illustrated, with their affinities and diagnostic characters discussed. Pleroma eglanduliferum is closely related to P. heteromallum (D. Don) D. Don and P. tedescoi Meirelles, L. Kollmann & R. Goldenb.) P.J.F . Guim. & Michelang. by plant architecture, with quadrangular branches and similar leaf in shape and indument. However, they can be distinguished by the variation in the stamens morphology and sizes of bracteoles. Pleroma eglanduliferum must be included in Critically Endangered category, since it is known only from one population, in a restricted area.
RESUMO
Pleroma eglanduliferum Justino & P.J.F. Guim. sp. nov., uma nova espécie da Mata Atlântica do Estado de Minas Gerais é descrita e ilustrada, com suas afinidades e caracteres diagnósticos discutidos. Pleroma eglanduliferum é semelhante a P. heteromallum (D. Don) D. Don e P. tedescoi (Meirelles, L.Kollmann & R.Goldenb.) P.J.F.Guim. & Michelang. pela arquitetura da planta com ramos quadrangulares e no formato, e indumento das folhas. No entanto, podem ser diferenciadas pela morfologia dos estames e tamanho das bratéolas. Pleroma eglanduliferum deve ser incluída na categoria Criticamente Ameaçada, já que possui apenas uma população conhecida para uma área restrita.
