Flowers perigynous; hypanthium campanulate to urceolate, mostly copiously pubescent externally, rarely glabrous; calyx lobes (4–)5, deciduous or rarely persistent; petals (4–)5, purple to lilac, rarely white, distended at anthesis, rarely campanulate or globose, but not forming a tube as in like Brachyotum; stamens (8–)10, isomorphic, or weakly to moderately dimorphic or rarely strongly dimorphic, anthers 2-thecae, ventrally channeled, arcuate, apical pore ventrally inclined, rarely a short anther with a large pore, pedoconnectives variously prolonged and modified ventrally at filament insertion, facing upwards or with a pair of bilobed appendages or less commonly flat, covered by stalked glands or glabrous. Ovary superior or semi-inferior, apical portion with hairs or gland-tipped, 5–locular placentation axile; style glabrous or pilose, hooked or incurved apically, typically bent towards side opposite stamens. Capsule dry, semi-woody, loculicidal; seeds numerous, cochleate to elongate-cochleate and tuberculate, with a terminal hilum.</p> <p>Features: Pleroma D. Don comprises approximately 170–180 species (Fraga&amp; Guimarães 2014; P. J. F. Guimarães &amp; F. A. Michelangeli, unpubl. data) with a concentration of species in southeastern Brazil, in the Mata Atlântica biome and also in the Cerrado, rarely in the Caatinga. Only five species occur outside of Brazil, reaching northwestern and western South America.</p> <p>Habitat: Forests and forest edges, banks of rivers and streams, high altitude grasslands, fields, rocky slopes on outcrops and shrubby restinga, from sea level to an elevation of 2,650 m.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/651787EAFFF62850DD9F178906F6FEDE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Rio de Janeiro: “Serra do Itatiaia ” (in the label), “habitat in campis ad Serram Itatiaiae, in altitudine 2100–2400 metrum” (in the protologue), E.H.G. Ule 3349 (Holotype B†, photo F!, Lectotype HBG [522987], here designated, Isolectotypes: HBG [522988, 522989?]).</p> <p>Homotypic synonyms:— Purpurella cleistopetala Ule (1896: 169) nom. superfl. et illeg.; Itatiaia cleistopetala (Ule) Ule (1908: 235) nom. illeg.</p> <p>Subshrubs, prostrate; branches sub-tetragonal, not angled, covered with pilose and appressed-strigose hairs, as the stem, petioles and pedicels. Leaves opposite, flat; petioles 1–2 mm long; blade 3–6 × 2–5 mm, oval, oval to elliptic, base rounded to truncate, apex acute to acuminate, margin ciliate, adaxial surface glabrous or sparsely pilose, abaxial surface glabrous to pilose, 3-nerved, veins confluent at the base. Inflorescence reduced to one terminal flower; pedicels ca. 0.5 mm long; bracteoles 2, 4–5 × 0.8–1.2 mm, flat, lanceolate, apex acute, margin ciliate, caducous after anthesis; Flowers 4-merous, hypanthium 2.5–3 mm long, campanulate, moderately covered with strigose hairs and sparsely covered with basal glandular trichomes; calyx lobes lanceolate, apex acute, caducous in fruit; corolla globose; petals 8–10 × 5–6 mm, white, obovate; stamens 8, isomorphic, filaments 2.5–3 mm long, white, glabrous, connective not prolonged, ventral appendage bicalcarate, 1–1.5 mm long, thecae 1–1.5 mm long, purple, linear, apex truncate. Ovary basal half adhered to hypanthium; style 5–6 mm long, glabrous. Capsule 4–5 mm long; seeds cochleate.</p> <p>Features: Pleroma cleistoflora is a prostrate subshrub with many adventitious roots, that can be recognized by its 4-merous, closed flowers at anthesis, and stamens with ventral bicalcarate appendages equal in size to the thecae. The other representatives of Pleroma usually have ventral appendages that are smaller than the thecae.</p> <p>Habitat and distribution:― Pleroma cleistoflora is endemic to southeastern Brazil. It occurs on moist soils and shaded places in a few localities on the highlands of Itatiaia National Park, between 2,200 –2,430 m elevation, in an area of approximately 10 km 2 (Pinheiro 2013), along the border between Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais States (Baumgratz 2014). As a result of its restricted area of occurrence, it is probably endangered; however, a paper including considerations on its geographic distribution patterns and conservation strategies is in preparation (Felipe Pinheiro, pers. comm.)</p> <p>Phenology:― This species has been collected with flowers and fruits from November to May. Although a single experiment has verified the presence of nectar in flowers (Pinheiro 2013), no other study was conducted to confirm the occurrence of cleistogamy, seed dispersal or vegetative propagation.</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:― BRAZIL.
