This paper presents a survey of Melastomataceae collected in the Poços de Caldas region during the research project signed between the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (FUNCAMP), and the ALCOA Alumínios. Several families were collected during this project, among them standing out the Melastomataceae, which comprises a high number of species in the local flora, with 58 species in 12 genera and three tribes. Melastomeae and Miconieae showed the higher number of species. In order to contribute to the final list of the taxa we also included specimens previously collected. We provide descriptions, illustrations, geographical distribution and a key to the genera and species studied.
