Tococa has been of great ecological interest due to the presence of antdomatia. In spite of this interest, the last complete revision of thegenus was published over a hundred years ago. In total, 45 species are recognized in Tococa (Melastomataceae), including descriptions of two poorly known taxa. Most of the descriptions are based on field observations and fresh and liquid material complemented by the study of over 3000 herbarium specimens.
