Amaraboya (native name). Melastomàceae. A genus of only 3 species of tender shrubs from Colombia, which are showy both in foliage and flower. Lvs. large, opposite, sessile, with 3 prominent nerves, brownish red beneath: fls. large, cymose; petals usually 6; stamens 12-15. For cult., see Pleroma. Not known to be in American trade. Considered by some as a section of the much larger genus Blakea.

I.H. 34:4.—A. splendida, Linden. Fls. 6½ in. across; petals narrower at the base than in the other species; stamens yellow; style red, exserted.
