Abstract

Abstract Vochysiaceae is represented in Brazil by ca. 160 species, distributed mainly the in Amazon Forest, Atlantic Forest, and Cerrado. The Diamantina Plateau is located between the north of Serra do Cipó and the south of Grão Mogol, in the Espinhaço Range central southern region. We have found 22 species of Vochysiaceae in the studied area, distributed among the genera Vochysia (13 spp.), Qualea (5 spp.), Callisthene (3 spp.), and Salvertia (1 sp.). We present identification keys and morphological descriptions of genera and species, as well as information about the geographical distribution, taxonomic and ecological remarks, and illustrations of diagnostic features.
