		The Melastomataceae are herbs, shrubs, or trees comprising about 200 genera and 4,000 species that are further characterized by having the major leaf veins usually 3-9 palmate and running in a parallel fashion from the base of the blade to near the leaf tip.
		The leaves are opposite and decussate or rarely alternate by abortion of one of the members of a pair; stipules are absent.
		This is one of several species of Melastomataceae that threatens the native Hawaiian flora.

		In principle, therefore, ferns and Melastomataceae can be used to detect and forecast changes in the forest composition of the study area.
		However, evidence was not obtained that ferns and Melastomataceae show more potential to predict the main patterns in species composition of forests than soil, landscape, and spatial variables.
		Direct effects of ferns and Melastomataceae on other plants might be obtained from experimental studies of between-plant interactions, concentrating on the seedling or juvenile stages of trees and lianas, both above-ground as well as in the rooting environment.

		The most abundant species, N. glabrata, was found to be a Melastomataceae seed generalist, while N. maxima seemed to prefer the seeds of Bellucia, and N. aulica and N. umbrifera the seeds of Miconia.
		The seed-feeding Notiobia species, which specialize on Melastomataceae, used fruit falls of figs as migratory "stepping stones" during periods when there were no Melastomataceae fruit falls.
		Among the Melastomataceae, carabid species richness was highest at Miconia fruit falls and lowest at Loreya fruit falls.

		There is general agreement that Alzateaceae, Crypteroniaceae and Rhynchocalycaceae, often associated with Melastomataceae, are distinct families in their own right with Crypteroniaceae being the focal point for the other two segregates.
		The ovary is usually 2-5-carpelled and 1-5-locular in the Memecylaceae while, in the Melastomataceae, the ovary is typically has 3-5 carpels and locules and only rarely is the ovary 1-locular.
		In Melastomataceae, the anthers typical are poricidal and only rarely is the dehiscences by longitudinal slits.

		The Melastomataceae is the seventh largest family of flowering plants, with approximately 5000 species (Renner 1989).
		A great diversity of bird species besides manakins eat the fruits of the Melastomataceae, and it is generally recognized that these plants are some of the most important sources of food for small frugivorous birds in general (Stiles and Rosselli 1993).

		Floristic comparisons were made between 12 study plots in Peruvian Amazonia on the basis of the distribution of forest trees with a diameter at breast height >2.5 cm, terrestrial ferns and Melastomataceae.
		The results suggest that both ferns and Melastomataceae are promising candidates for serving as indicators of general phytogeographic patterns within the Amazonian forests.

		The Melastomataceae are the seventh largest family of flowering plants.
		The Melastomataceae are particularly notable for their diversity of hair types and modifications of the androecium (stamens).
		Despite being a very conspicuous component of most tropical ecosystems, their patterns of explosive evolution, intriguing biogeography and natural history, the Melastomataceae remain, to a large degree, an understudied family.

		The Melastomataceae are an almost exclusively tropical plant family with about 4500 species.
		Biologically, they are interesting because of the repeated evolution of various plant-animal mutualisms in the group, involving defense and/or nutrition by ants, buzz pollination by bees, and seed dispersal by birds, fish, reptiles, and mammals.
		There are also pages with literature, links about Melastomataceae, and about people working on melastomes.

		Species of Melastomataceae that offer pollen, floral oils, and fragrances as rewards to attract pollinators seem adapted for pollination by various species of bees, whereas the rarer nectar-producing species are visited by hummingbirds, bats, and rats.
		Information on chromosome numbers has only recently begun to be used in systematic studies of the Melastomataceae, but it promises to be useful in determining generic relationships and in pointing out patterns of evolutionary change in other important morphological characteristics.
		In conjunction with DNA studies, chromosome cytology is shedding light on the historical biogeography and phylogeny of the family.

	Use of Melastomataceae and pteridophytes for revealing phytogeographical patterns in Amazonian rain forests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Similarities and differences among 8 upland rain forest sites in Peruvian Amazonia (all within 150 km of Iquitos) were measured separately using Melastomataceae, pteridophyte and tree species compositions and edaphic characteristics of the sites.
		The results suggest that both pteridophytes and Melastomataceae can be used as indicators of floristically different rain forest types that are edaphically defined.
		Distribution patterns of these plant groups can be studied much more rapidly than the patterns of trees, and therefore both Melastomataceae and pteridophytes may be used in large-scale phytogeographical studies that are urgently needed in the face of rapidly advancing deforestation.
