A collaborative effort led by scientists from The New York Botanical Garden, the University of Florida, the Universidade Federal de Paraná, and the California Academy of Sciences, along with several collaborators in the US, Latin America and Europe, will produce a complete taxonomic inventory and monographic description of the tribe Miconieae in the plant family Melastomataceae. Melastomataceae is a group of over 1800 species from the Americas, mostly trees and shrubs from tropical rain and montane forests. These plants are ecologically important due to their diversity and abundance in forest understories, and because they are an important food source for tropical birds and mammals. The Miconieae also include two of the worst plant invasives in the Hawaii and South Pacific Islands (Koster's curse [Clidemia hirta] and purple plague [Miconia calvescens]), and the distributional changes of these invasives will be documented. The project will comprehensively review all of the 1,800 species, combining studies in the field, herbarium, and laboratory to produce a thorough taxonomic inventory and phylogenetic analysis of the group. All of the information generated by the study will be available online through a dedicated module of NYBG's botanical database, the Virtual Herbarium. The database will include complete description and images for all species, keys for their identification, and distribution maps for each species. The project will train postdoctoral associates and graduate students in the US and Latin America on the tools of modern monographic treatments and taxonomic nomenclature. Local scientists will be integral part of the field work and will also be trained, and an intensive course for Latin American students and scientists on the systematics and taxonomy of the Melastomataceae will take place during the third year of the project.

由来自纽约植物园、佛罗里达大学、巴拉那联邦大学和加州科学院的科学家领导的一项合作努力，沿着与美国、拉丁美洲和欧洲的几个合作者，将产生一个完整的分类清单和植物科Miconieae族的专题描述。 木麻黄科是一组来自美洲的1800多个物种，主要是热带雨林和山地森林的树木和灌木。这些植物具有重要的生态意义，因为它们在森林林下植被中的多样性和丰富性，而且它们是热带鸟类和哺乳动物的重要食物来源。Miconieae还包括两种在夏威夷和南太平洋岛屿上最严重的植物入侵物种（Koster's curse [Clidemia hirta]和紫色瘟疫[Miconia calvescens]），这些入侵物种的分布变化将被记录下来。该项目将全面审查所有1，800个物种，结合野外，植物标本馆和实验室的研究，以产生一个彻底的分类清单和系统发育分析。 这项研究产生的所有信息都将通过NYBG植物学数据库的一个专用模块虚拟植物标本馆在线提供。该数据库将包括所有物种的完整描述和图像，识别它们的关键，以及每个物种的分布图。该项目将在美国和拉丁美洲培训博士后助理和研究生，掌握现代专题治疗和分类命名的工具。 当地科学家将成为实地工作的组成部分，并将接受培训，在项目的第三年，将为拉丁美洲学生和科学家举办一个关于木虱科系统学和分类学的强化课程。
