Dizygostemon riparius (Plantaginaceae) is a new aromatic herbaceous species occurring in Maranhão State, Brazil. It is used as flavorings to remove domestic animal parasites and preventing mosquitoes. GC and GC/MS were used to analyze its essential oil, and a larvicidal bioassay was performed against Aedes albopictus larvae, a vector of arboviruses in Brazil. endo-Fenchyl acetate, endo-fenchol, (E)-caryophyllene, and caryophyllene oxide were the oil's primary constituents, totalizing 88.0 %. The two morphotypes of D. riparius, with purple and white flowers, did not present a significant difference in the oils' composition. From a chemotaxonomic point of view, D. riparius oil showed some similarities with other oils of Plantaginaceae, suggesting (E)-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide as possible chemical markers. The oil larvicidal action displayed the lowest and highest mortality percentage at 50 mg/L (2.0 %) and 600 mg/L (88.0 %). The fenchyl acetate and fenchol standards showed a lower and higher mortality percentage at a concentration of 300 mg/L (42.0 % and 26.0 %) and 900 mg/L (96.0 % and 98.0 %), respectively. The present study results with the D. riparius oil point to a new bioproduct with significant larvicidal activity.

We report three species of Bromeliaceae (Encholirium spectabile Mart. ex Schult. & Schult.f., Pitcairnia burchellii Mez, and Tillandsia bulbosa Hook.) for the first time from Maranhão, northeastern Brazil, based on our fieldwork. Data on species’ morphology, taxonomy, ecology, and geographic distribution are included. Our new data add to the knowledge to the flora of Maranhão and expand the distribution of three bromeliad species in Brazil.

Dizygostemon riparius (Plantaginaceae) is an aromatic herbal species known as “Melosa”, endemic to the Municipality of São Benedito do Rio Preto, East Maranhão state, Brazil. It has a refreshing and pleasant aroma and is used for food flavoring and controlling domestic animal parasites. This work aimed to evaluate the seasonal and circadian influence on the composition and production of essential oils (EOs) from D. riparius. The plant aerial parts were hydrodistilled, and the oils were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The seasonal study was conducted from August 2019 to July 2020, and the circadian study in dry (November) and rainy (May) periods, at 6 am, 12 am, and 6 pm. The results showed that the medium EOs yield was 2.8 %, and the primary constituents (>2 %) were endo‐fenchyl acetate (30.5–42.1 %) and endo‐fenchol (31.6–37.4 %), (E)‐caryophyllene (2.8–7.6 %), α‐fenchene (3.3–6.5 %), p‐cymene (0.7–4.5 %), and caryophyllene oxide (1.4–2.7 %). Yield and composition of EOs did not significantly correlate with the climatic parameters, but their seasonal percentages influenced their two main components due to precipitation and solar radiation environmental factors. Quantitative variability in the EOs composition during the dry and rainy seasons was observed in the circadian period. These data may be significant for the plant's economic use.
