A new Melastoma cultivar‘Jiyue’has been selected from the artificial F₁ hybrids between Melastoma dodecandrum（♀）× M. malabathricum（♂）.‘Jiyue’is a semi-creeping evergreen shrub with its height less than 50 cm. It has pliant and creeping branches，and green and glossy leaves. Its leaves turn reddish in the autumn and winter. Its flowering period lasts from May to July with abundant beautiful flowers. However，it seldom sets fruits. It has high ornamental value and prefers warm and humid climates，so that it can be widely cultivated in South China and other tropical regions.
