| Abstract | |
The genus Paepalanthus Mart. comprises ca. 400 species, mainly distributed in South and Central America, with center of diversity located in the Espinaço Range, in Minas Gerais and Bahia. In a taxonomic view, Paepalanthus is the most complex genus of Eriocaulaceae and the lack of floristic studies hinders the improvement of its species circumscription. In this context, it was carried out the Paepalanthus flora of Biribiri State Park, which is located in Diamantina Plateau, in Minas Gerais, (18°00\' - 18°15\'S; 43°30\' - 43°40\'W). In the area, the genus is represented by 33 species. Identification keys to Eriocaulaceae genera and Paepalanthus species ocurring in the study area, descriptions and illustrations, as well as comments about morphology, habitat, geographic distribution and phenology are provided (AU) | |
