“…The descriptions of the family, genera, and species, as well as the identification key were prepared based on samples recorded within Ceará State. The terminologies of the vegetative and fertile morphological characters follow Harris & Harris (2001). Data referring to the growth forms (habits), habitats, phenology (period of flowering/fruiting), and popular names were obtained from the herbarium labels.…”

Flora of Ceará, Brazil: Vitaceae

We examined here the diversity and distribution of Vitaceae species in Ceará state, Brazil, as part of the “Flora of Ceará Project: knowing to conserve”, analyzing the morphological characters of specimens collected in the field, those available in the ALCB, BHCB, EAC, CEN, EAFM, HCDAL, HST, HUEFS, HUVA, HVASF, IAN, IPA, K, MBM, MOSS, NY, P, R, UEC, and US herbaria or in the specialized literature. We include here an identification key, occurrence maps, morphological descriptions, and comments concerning their ecology. The main morphological features for species delimiting were leaf type and symmetry, trichome and tendril types, presence or absence of streaks on branches, stipule, flower bud and fruit shape. Eleven species of Vitaceae included within two genera were recorded in Ceará: Cissus albida, C. blanchetiana, C. campestris, C. erosa, C. gongylodes, C. subrhomboidea, C. sulcicaulis, C. tinctoria, C. verticillata, C. xerophila, and Clematicissus simsiana. The species were registered in 45 municipalities, with C. erosa and C. verticillata being widely distributed. Those species inhabit different phytoecological areas in Ceará, although preferentially growing in Stepic Savanna (Caatinga). Six species occur in nine legally protected conservation areas. Ceará state holds 40.74% of the registered species of the family found in northeastern Brazil.

“…The morphological terminology follows the specialized Leguminosae literature, including Polhill & Raven (1981), van der Werff (2008), and LPWG (2017). Indumentum terminology follows Font- Quer (1989), Beentje et al (2001), and Schmid et al (2002), complemented by Ellis et al (2009), Payne (1978), and Theobald et al (1979). The conservation status was assessed using GeoCat software (http://geocat.kew.org; Bachman et al 2011), following IUCN (2019) criteria.…”

The new species Tachigali inca is described and illustrated. It grows in lowland ‘terra firme’ forest of Amazonian Brazil, in the sub-Andean Amazon region of Peru, and in northeastern Bolivia. The species differs markedly from its most closely related species (T. amarumayu, T. prancei and T. setifera, all belonging to the “setifera group”), by the large cylindrical domatia on the leaf rachis, and by the brown-orange pulverulent indumentum on the abaxial surface of the leaflets and the young twigs; on older branches the indumentum becomes darker, degrades and then breaks off. It also differs by its linear petals with the upper half densely tomentose, the hairs forming small tufts.

“…The morphological terminology follows the specialized literature of Stafleu (1948) and Marcano-Berti (2014), complemented with specific terminologies from Payne (1978), Font Quer (1989, Beentje et al (2001), Schmid et al (2002), andEllis et al (2009). The species conservation status was assessed using GeoCat software (http://geocat.kew.org; Bachman et al 2011)…”
