Heterocentron (unlike spurs, referring to structure of anthers). Melastomaceae. Includes Heeria of Schlechtendal, not of Meisener. About 6 Mexican and Central American species, sometimes grown under Herbs or shrubs, erect or prostrate, with opposite membranaceous pinnately nerved (rarely 3-nerved) entire lvs., and white, rose or purple irregular fls. in panicles or rarely solitary: stamens 8, very unequal, the 4 larger ones with long appendages or connections; ovary loculed; petals 4.—Not to be confounded with Centradenia, which has winged sts. unequal-sided lvs., and calyx-teeth small and much shorter than the calyx-tube.—Warmhouse plants, requiring the cult, of centradenia, but grown chiefly for the fls., whereas centradenias are grown also for foliage. H. elegans, O. Kuntse {Heeria elegans, Schlecht. H. procumbens, Naudin), will be found under Schizocentron. L H B The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
