“…The families with greater richness of species found at the Ibura National Forest (Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Rubiaceae, Asteraceae and Euphorbiaceae) are similar to those found in other surveys conducted in the Atlantic Forest of the state of Sergipe (VICENTE et al, 2005;SANTOS, 2011;MENDES;GOMES;ALVEZ, 2010;SOUZA-ALVES et al, 2014;LANDIM et al, 2015). The Ibura National Forest is also distinguished by the high species richness of native and endemic species in the state, even within a smaller area, when compared to the previously mentioned studies.…”

“…As some of the studies that were used for the comparison did not sampled herbaceous species of Atlantic Forest (SOUZA-ALVES et al, 2014;VICENTE et al, 2005;OLIVEIRA et al, 2013;LANDIM et al, 2015) and Caatinga (SILVA; PRATA; FONSECA, 1991;FERREIRA, 2011;NOGUEIRA-JÚNIOR, 2011;MACHADO;MELLO, 2012), in this analysis only tree and shrub species were considered. The analyses were performed using the program PAST (HAMMER; HARPER; RYAN, 2001).…”

“…Despite advances in floristic studies in the last decade, so far, few remnants have been systematically inventoried in the state of Sergipe (VICENTE et al, 2005;MENDES;GOMES;ALVEZ, 2010;SANTOS, 2011;SOUZA-ALVES et al, 2014;PRATA et al, 2013;LANDIM et al, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was to obtain information on the floristic composition and dispersal syndromes of the Ibura National Forest and carry out an analysis of similarity with other floristic surveys in the state of Sergipe. For this purpose, bimonthly sampling was carried out from September 2012 to December 2014. Total of 328 species were recorded, of which 324 were angiosperms belonging to 82 families, followed by three species of ferns and lycophytes and one species of Gymnosperm. Sixty-seven new species were recorded for the state of Sergipe. The richest families in species were Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Rubiaceae, Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae and Malvaceae. Regarding the dispersal syndromes, the dominance of zoochoric dispersal was observed, followed by autochoric and anemochoric dispersal. Among the tree and shrub species, the zoochoric syndrome was predominant (70%), while herbaceous species showed predominance of autochoric species (49%), and climber species have a more equitable proportion among the syndromes (38% autochoric, 32% anemocoric and 30% zoochoric). The Ibura National Forest presented relatively low levels of similarity with other sites located in the Atlantic Forest, possibly influenced by its isolation and distance between fragments. As we found in the Ibura National Forest, the dominance of zoochoric species was also observed in other studies conducted in the Atlantic Forest. The results of this study indicate that the Ibura National Forest is refuge to a high diversity of plant species of the Atlantic Forest, being a fairly heterogeneous area, which is still understudied.

“…Among the papers analyzed with similar samplings, only in Landim et al (2015), was the Myrtaceae family among the most representative families (table 3). Despite this family not being representative in the Mata do Junco Wildlife Refuge, its richness was similar to most areas of Atlantic rainforest in the State of Sergipe (except Landim et al 2015) and various areas of Atlantic rainforest in the northeast of Brazil, for example in the State of Bahia , Pernambuco (Costa-Jr et al 2007) and Paraíba (Pereira & Alves 2006, Amazonas & Barbosa 2011.…”

-(Floristic survey of the Mata do Junco Wildlife Refuge, Capela, Sergipe State, Brazil). Seeking to expand the floristic studies for the Atlantic rainforest, we herein present, based on field trips (January 2011 to April 2013) and herbarium records, a list of vascular plants found in the Mata do Junco Wildlife Refuge, State of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil. We registered a total of 380 species, 244 genera and 80 families, with 45 new occurrences for the Atlantic rainforest of the State of Sergipe. The most representative families were Fabaceae (36 species), Cyperaceae (29) and Poaceae (28). Herbs were the most representative regarding habit (167 species or 44%). We found two threatened species: Caesalpinia echinata Lam. and Campylocentrum pernambucense Hoehne, both in the "endangered" category. Overall, the results indicate that the Mata do Junco Wildlife Refuge is floristically similar to other areas of Atlantic rainforest in the State of Sergipe. Moreover, the existence of new records and of a threatened native species reinforces its importance for conservation.

“…Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae especially noteworthy for their high richness and endemism. Local floristic surveys along the Atlantic Forest demonstrate that these families figure among the richest in distinct areas of this domain, but in different proportions depending on, for example, altitude, latitude, and vegetation type (Barros et al 1991;Alves-Araújo et al 2008;Amorim et al 2008Amorim et al , 2009Scheer and Kinoshita 2009;Coelho and Amorim 2014;Forzza et al 2014;Landim et al 2015).…”

A list of angiosperms from Serra do Urubu, a montane forest area in the state of Pernambuco, is here provided. Based on 14 botanical expeditions and material deposited in herbaria, 832 taxa belonging to 442 genera and 118 families have been recorded in this area, with about 90% of the taxa identified to species level. The richest families are Orchidaceae (86 spp.), Fabaceae (51 spp.) and Rubiaceae (42 spp.). Miconia and Solanum (14 spp. each), and Psychotria (13 spp.) are the richest genera. About 15% of the recorded species are endemic to the Atlantic Forest, and another 10% are disjunct between this area and the Amazon Rainforest. The results indicate that the Serra do Urubu is one of the richest areas in terms of number of species of the Atlantic Forest in the Northeast, and corroborates the Pernambuco Endemism Center.
