Resumo:As plantas ornamentais são importantes na cultura e no bem estar dos moradores das cidades na Amazônia. Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar as espécies vegetais de uso ornamental em quintais urbanos de Rio Branco, Acre, e a relação com aspectos sociais. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, abrangendo 132 quintais urbanos, entre 2009 e 2011. Os bairros selecionados para este estudo foram Aeroporto Velho, Placas e Conjunto Novo Horizonte, situados na periferia do município. Foram catalogadas 140 espécies ornamentais, pertencentes a 49 famílias botânicas, com destaque para Euphorbiaceae (7%), Arecaceae (6,4%) e Araceae (5%). Entre as espécies ornamentais registradas, 57,5% são exóticas, 16% apresentam uso medicinal e 44% são herbáceas. A análise de regressão dos dados entre a diversidade de espécies, a área e os parâmetros sociais dos entrevistados não mostrou significância. O cultivo de plantas ornamentais em quintais urbanos de Rio Branco auxilia na ambiência da residência e melhoria da paisagem, gera bem estar aos moradores pelo espaço de lazer e contribui para a conservação de recursos genéticos.Palavras-chave: Plantas ornamentais.

ABSTRACT(Floristic composition of a savanna community in Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil). In the municipality of Rio do Fogo (in 1976) a savanna community was registered by radar that, until now, has not been studied in loco. Some questions were asked about this community: Is this area Cerrado, floristically? What is the phytogeography of plant species in this community? Do rare, endemic or endangered species occur in this community? To answer these questions a floristic inventory, from August 2007 to September 2009, was performed in 400 ha of this region. The data indicated that of the 94 species recorded, 73 are associated with Cerrado, 69 also with Caatinga, 60 with Atlantic Forest, 47 with Amazonian forest, 14 with the Pantanal and 11 with the Pampa flora. Thirty-nine species are first listed for Rio Grande do Norte (RN); Stylosanthes gracilis Kunth (Fabaceae) and Aristida laevis (Nees) Kunth (Poaceae) are first records for the Northeast of Brazil. Aspilia procumbens Baker (Asteraceae) showed a restricted distribution in the state and is listed as critically endangered. Stilpnopappus cearensis Hobber is listed as vulnerable to extinction. It was concluded that this area can be floristically classified as Cerrado, which points to a key area for conservation.

ABSTRACT(Cultivation of food species in urban gardens in Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil). Home gardens are urban spaces that guarantee human interaction with elements from the natural word, and the cultivation of food plants in these gardens can be important in complementing the diet of city residents. Th e goal of this work was to make an assessment of the eatable food plants grown in home gardens in the city of Rio Branco. In 2009 and 2010, on-site interviews were carried out using a questionnaire, which recorded the plant species of each kind of food, area of the gardens and the socioeconomic factors, for 132 gardens in Rio Branco. Th e neighborhoods selected for this study, Aeroporto Velho, Novo Horizonte and Placas, were located in the outskirts of the city. Seventy-seven food plants were recorded, which belong to 34 plant families. Of these, Solanaceae (12.6%) and Myrtaceae (11.3%) with 62.0% of the kinds of fruits and 38.0% of the vegetables. Of the total number of plants recorded, 82.3% were exotic, 34.1% were medicinal and 18.9% were ornamental. No signifi cant statistical association was detected between species and socioeconomic factors. Nonparametric analysis of variance indicated signifi cant diff erences between neighborhoods, showing that Placas had a higher quantity of species. Th e quantity of species correlated positively in the home gardens. Food plants cultivated in Rio Branco gardens conserve agrobiodiversity and aid in the health and well-being of the residents by improving the landscape, ambience and leisure space of the city.
