Pleroma francavillanum is a species of flowering plant in the family Melastomataceae, native to Brazil. [1] It was first described by Alfred Cogniaux in 1885 as Tibouchina francavillana. [2] [3]
Tibouchina is a neotropical flowering plant genus in the family Melastomataceae. Species of this genus are subshrubs, shrubs or small trees and typically have purple flowers. They are native to Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America where they are found as far south as northern Argentina. Members of this genus are known as glory bushes, glory trees or princess flowers. The name Tibouchina is adapted from a Guianan indigenous name for a member of this genus. A systematic study in 2013 showed that as then circumscribed the genus was paraphyletic, and in 2019 the genus was split into a more narrowly circumscribed Tibouchina, two re-established genera Pleroma and Chaetogastra, and a new genus, Andesanthus.

Tibouchina bruniana is a species of flowering plant in the family Melastomataceae, native to Brazil. It was first described in 2014. Distinguishing characteristics of Tibouchina bruniana are the solitary flowers and the small leaves.

This shrub is found in cerrado vegetation, growing in compacted soil and in swampy areas at around 1,100 metres. The species is only known from one population growing close to a nickel mine in the Brazilian state of Goiás.
