Taxonomy

Melastoma denticulatum was first described by Jacques Labillardière in 1825.[2] Its acceptance as a distinct species has varied. It is accepted by Plants of the World Online, as of November 2020.[1] It has also been treated as a synonym of Melastoma malabathricum and Melastoma affine, and also as misapplied to Melastoma affine.[3]
