“…It is interesting to note that the most representative families found in APAMA were also the focus of works within the project Diversidade Florística da Área de Proteção Ambiental do Mestre Álvaro: including unpublished data as Araceae, Cactaceae, Fabaceae, Malvaceae, Malpighiaceae and, Melastomataceae (Iglesias & Dutra 2017). This effect was also pointed out by Luber et al (2016) as an important variable in a similar study.…”

“…In the case of Melastomataceae, species typical of dense montane ombrophilous forest accounted for ca. 70 % of the species collected in APAMA (Iglesias & Dutra 2017); the remainder are typically at altitudes below 500 m. Perhaps, this view is the best definition of APAMA's floristic identity, which has elements from both phytoecological regions. Although expected for the altitudinal range analyzed, the union between these elements is a relictual distribution in a sharply fragmented landscape.…”

“…We also used previously published lists for some angiosperm families in the area (Sarnaglia-Junior et al 2014a;Iglesias & Dutra 2017). The final list obtained was compared to the Brazilian and Espírito Santo State Red Lists of Plants (Martinelli & Moraes 2013;Fraga et al 2019) to verify the conservation status of the species of APAMA.…”

Floristic inventory and conservation of one of the most striking coastal mountains in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

et al. 2022

The Atlantic Forest is made up of different vegetation types over extensive latitude. Most of its remnants are in mountain ranges, which are responsible for the maintenance of most endemic and threatened species in this domain. Here we present the floristic composition of the Área de Proteção Ambiental Mestre Álvaro (APAMA), a coastal massif at Espírito Santo State with expressive altitudinal amplitude (100-800 a.s.l.) containing remnants never floristically studied. Knowing the composition of this protected area is important because it includes an altitudinal range not yet evaluated in floristic comparisons involving highland and lowland forests between the latitudes 18-21° S. We found 493 species (in 292 genera and 91 families): ten are regional endemic species, nine are new records of occurrence for the state, and 52 are under some degree of threat of extinction. Our results indicate the presence of flora elements' typical of both highland and lowland forests, which makes the APAMA essential in a scenario extremely fragmented. Finally, our data provide an unprecedented floristic list for regional forest restoration projects, as well as an invaluable source of data for biogeographic studies that seek to understand the effect caused by neighboring vegetation types on the composition of lowland forests.

“…198 species distributed in 25 genera, respectively (BFG 2018). These numbers are based on initial studies in areas of dense ombrophilous forest (Goldenberg & Reginato 2006;Iglesias & Dutra 2017) and restinga (Souza et al 2016), followed by more detailed studies of Miconia (Bacci et al 2016), Behuria, Cambessedesia, Dolichoura, Huberia and Merianthera (Bochorny & Goldenberg 2017) and Bertolonia (Bacci et al 2017). Further, the family is also notable for its strong regional endemism (e.g., Goldenberg & Tavares 2007;BFG 2018;Goldenberg & Reginato 2009;Goldenberg & Kollmann 2010Camargo & Goldenberg 2011;Caddah & Goldenberg 2012;Bacci & Goldenberg 2015;Iglesias et al 2016;BFG 2018;Bacci et al 2020;Goldenberg et al 2020).…”

Melastomataceae are the tenth most diverse angiosperm family in the world and the sixth largest angiosperm family in Brazil. Among the ecosystems associated with the Atlantic Forest, restinga comprises different phytophysiognomies where this family is a conspicuous element. Parque Estadual Paulo César Vinha (PEPCV) is an important area of restinga with various phytophysiognomies and serves as an interesting model for taxonomic studies about Melastomataceae. Thus, from October 2017 to April 2019, we conducted a taxonomic study of the family in this protected area and made ecological observations that have never been discussed for the group in this environment. We recorded 14 species and a preference for open, humid areas. The richest genera were Miconia and Pleroma. In addition to morphological and habitats information, we recorded three new occurrences for this protected area.

“…Melastomataceae is also among the most diverse families of plants in the state of Espírito Santo, with 198 species in 25 genera (Dutra et al 2015;Goldenberg et al 2020a). The family has been the subject of floristic treatments in several localities in the state (Goldenberg & Reginato 2006;Meirelles & Goldenberg 2012;Iglesias & Dutra 2017). Furthermore, a substantial amount of new species were described in the last 20 years (Guimarães & Goldenberg 2001;Goldenberg & Reginato 2007Goldenberg & Tavares 2007;Tavares et al 2008;Goldenberg & Kollmann 2010, 2016Camargo & Goldenberg 2011;Meirelles et al 2012;Caddah & Goldenberg 2012Bacci et al , 2020Iglesias et al 2016;Bochorny & Goldenberg 2019;Bisewski et al 2020;Goldenberg et al 2020b).…”

Microlicieae is one of the most diverse tribes in Melastomataceae, comprising three genera: Microlicia (including the former Chaetostoma, Lavoisiera, Stenodon, and Trembleya), Poteranthera, and Rhynchanthera. It is characterized by anthers with a prolonged pedoconnective, capsular fruits, and reniform, oblong seeds with a foveolate testa. This study presents a taxonomic treatment for the species of Microlicieae in the state of Espírito Santo. A total of ten species were registered in two genera, Microlicia (9 spp.) and Rhynchanthera (1 sp.). Of these, three are new species of Microlicia: M. caparaoensis is endemic to the Caparaó National Park; M. capixaba and M. misteriosa are endemic to a single inselberg, the “Alto Misterioso”, in São Roque do Canaã. A fourth species was kept as Microlicia sp., since further studies will be necessary to confirm its identity. We also provide an identification key, morphological descriptions, distribution data, and comments for all species.
