Abstract

Abstract A taxonomic survey for Begoniaceae occurring in the Serra do Brigadeiro State Park (PESB), Minas Gerais, Brazil is presented in this study. Ten species of Begoniaceae were found at the park, all of them belonging to Begonia: B. altamiroi, B. angulata, B. convolvulacea, B. cucullata, B. fischeri, B. fruticosa, B. hugelii, B. integerrima, B. luxurians and B. riedelii, mainly distinguished by features of habit, by the general aspect of leaf blades, and indument. Of the total, eight species are endemic to Brazil, whilst seven are endemic from the Atlantic Forest. The study was based on bibliographic review, consults to the main Brazilian herbaria, and field observation. Descriptions, illustrations, and comments are also presented for each species. (AU)
