The present project aims to inventory and analyze the vascular epiphytic flora in three Conservation Units of the Espírito Santo State, Southeastern Brazil, aiming to: a) know the taxonomic diversity and composition of the communities of vascular epiphytes in these Conservation Units; b) evaluate if the diversity and composition vary between different altitudinal ranges (ca. 400 to 1600 m…
The Oleaceae family includes 25 genera and about 600 species, with nearly cosmopolitan distribution. In the Neotropics the family comprises nine genera and over 45 described species. The species are characterized by woody habit, leaves usually opposite, not stipulated, simple or compound, cimose inflorescences, actinomorphic flowers, calyx (0) 4-15-lobed, corolla (0) 4-12-lobed, simpetalo…

In the city of Rio Claro, São Paulo, floristic surveys which covers fertile botanical material collections from the various plant life habits are rare. The creation of a Geological Park in the district of Assistência is of great relevance for the geoconservation, for the development of geoturism, environmental education and preservation of the local fauna and flora. Since in the area the …
The carbonate rocks, mainly limestone and dolostone, are the most common in the establishment of karsts, such as in Brazil. The karst landscape is bounded by the floristic composition, formed by a vegetational mosaic that has open and forested areas. Limestone outcrops in the Atlantic Forest are important to the biodiversity of neotropical forests, because they can act as genetic banks to…
The Brazilian seasonal dry forest distributed in natural disjunctions in South America, are considered relict formations of a seasonal forest previously extensive and large contiguous piece that expanded during the dry climates of the Pleistocene period. Some of these formations are related to areas with outcrops of limestone rocks. The influence of historical climate fluctuations in the …

Karst carbonate outcrops cover 2.8% of Brazil's land surface and occur in all biomes. These island-like areas hold a great biogeographical interest, especially due to the influence of historical climatic fluctuations in the fragmentation and expansion of the Seasonally Deciduous Forest in the Neotropic. Karst outcrops are also a major source of aquifers, and therefore of strategic importa…
Celastraceae has about 1000 species with global distribution and Maytenus is the main genus in Neotropic with ca. 140 species, in practically all vegetation types. The species are characterized by alternate leaves, instrastaminal disk, and capsular fruits opening by two or three valves. Maytenus presents low variability on reproductive characters and the identification is usually based on…
