As lianas e trepadeiras são importantes componentes das unidades florestais, principalmente em regiões tropicais, as quais se diferenciam, especialmente, pelo grau de lenhosidade no seu caule. Esses grupos contribuem notavelmente para a riqueza de espécies de diferentes ecossistemas, trazendo benefícios para a flora e fauna. No entanto, constituem o componente menos estudado, gerando uma lacuna no conhecimento sobre aspectos florístico-estruturais, regenerativos e fatores que influenciam esses grupos nas diversas formações vegetacionais. Esse estudo objetivou realizar o levantamento das espécies de lianas e trepadeiras registradas no Parque Nacional de Ubajara (PARNA Ubajara), no estado do Ceará. As informações sobre as espécies foram obtidas através de consulta aos bancos de dados digitais Flora do Brasil 2020 e Centro de Referência em Informação Ambiental – CRIA. Com base nessas informações, foi elaborada uma lista de espécies e uma chave de identificação das famílias botânicas registradas. No PARNA Ubajara foram listadas 60 espécies, distribuídas em 42 gêneros e 20 famílias de lianas e trepadeiras, com destaque para Fabaceae (25%), Bignoniaceae (8,3%) e Convolvulaceae (8,3 %), correspondendo a 41,6 % do total de táxons. Tais famílias foram representadas em outros remanescentes de Mata Atlântica, mostrando uma similaridade florística entre essas áreas. O estudo mostrou a importância dos inventários florísticos com esses grupos de plantas, os quais podem servir como subsídio para a criação de programas de conservação de espécies, principalmente para aquelas que estão na categoria de pouco preocupante, segundo o livro vermelho da flora do Brasil, e que foram registradas na área de estudo.  Diversity of Climbers of the Ubajara National Park, Ceará, BrazilA B S T R A C TLianas and vines are important components of forestry units, especially in tropical regions, which are differentiated mainly by the degree of woodiness in their stem. These groups contribute notably to the richness of species from different ecosystems, bringing benefits to flora and fauna. However, they constitute the least studied component, generating a gap in knowledge about floristic-structural, regenerative aspects, and factors that influence these groups in the different vegetation formations. This study aimed to survey the species of lianas and vines recorded in the National Park of Ubajara (PARNA Ubajara), in the state of Ceará. The information about the species was obtained through consultation with the digital databases Flora do Brasil 2020 and Reference Center for Environmental Information - CRIA. Based on this information, a list of species and an identification key for the registered botanical families were prepared. In PARNA Ubajara, 60 species were listed, distributed in 42 genera and 20 families of lianas and vines, with emphasis on Fabaceae (25%), Bignoniaceae (8.3%) and Convolvulaceae (8.3%), corresponding to 41.6 % of total taxa. Such families were represented in other remnants of the Atlantic Forest, showing a floristic similarity between these areas. Floristic inventories are important to these groups of plants, which can serve as a subsidy for the creation of species conservation programs, especially for those that are in the category of little concern, according to the red book on flora in Brazil, and that were recorded in the study area.Key words: Floristic, Atlantic forest, Northeast of Brazil, Conservation unit.

Abstract The genus Piptadenia includes approximately 24 species that are distributed in the tropical regions of South America, with centers of diversity in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest in Brazil in which twenty-one species occur. A taxonomic study of Piptadenia was conducted in the state of Minas Gerais based on an analysis of approximately 270 specimens from 11 herbaria, field observations and field work in the main conservation units and other focal areas in Minas Gerais. These areas include the three vegetation domains in the state: Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Caatinga. Six of the species in the genus were sampled: P. adiantoides, P. gonoacantha, P. macradenia, P. micracantha, P. paniculata and P. viridiflora. Two species that have previously been cited in the state were not found in this study: P. irwinii and P. stipulacea. These species were not found in the herbaria collections that were consulted or during the field work. We present an identification key for the Minas Gerais species of Piptadenia as well as descriptions, illustrations, geographical distributions, comments about the taxonomic characters and some information related to the flowering and fruiting periods.

Abstract We present the taxonomic treatment of Convolvulaceae for the Meruoca Massif, located in the Northwest region of the Ceará state, where there are remnants of Tropical Pluvial Sub-deciduous Forest (Dry Forest) and Tropical Pluvial-Nebular Rainforest (Wet Forest). The present study was based on the morphological analysis of specimens collected in the field and from the collections EAC, HUEFS, HUVA, PEUFR, and SPF. We recorded 24 species distributed in four genera: Ipomoea (18 species), Jacquemontia (three species), Distimake (two species), and Camonea (one species). We report the first records of I. cearensis for Atlantic Forest and I. aristolochiifolia to the state of Ceará. The taxonomic treatment includes identification key, morphological descriptions, geographic distribution, taxonomic and ecological comments, the period of flowering and fruiting, and photos and illustrations of the diagnostic characters.

Genus One

The Bromeliaceae Flora for the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil, is presented, based on extensive fieldwork, morphological analyses using herbarium and freshly collected material, and specialized literature. Twenty-six species of bromeliads were recorded in Rio Grande do Norte, distributed in ten genera and in three subfamilies. Bromelioideae was the richest subfamily (eight genera/14 species), followed by Tillandsioideae (one genus/12 species), and Pitcairnioideae (one genus/one species). Aechmea mertensii, Hohenbergia horrida and Tillandsia tenuifolia are new records for Rio Grande do Norte. Eight species (31%) are restricted to the Eastern portion of the state, in the Atlantic Forest. Caatinga dry woodlands harbor 18 species, with remarkable presence of Bromelia laciniosa, Encholirium spectabile, Tillandsia recurvata and T. streptocarpa, the four most widely distributed taxa. We discuss problems related to unclear taxonomic circumscriptions of species or diverging information between authors, more expressively in Hohenbergia, but also in Aechmea, Cryptanthus and Tillandsia. The data presented here might contribute to better understand the morphological variation of these taxa and suggest additional research on their taxonomy. Morphological descriptions, general comments, a map, photo plates and an identification key for all taxa are provided.

Chamaecrista is one of the largest genera of Leguminosae subfamily Caesalpinioideae and comprises 330 species, of these, 222 species are present in the Phytogeographic Cerrado Domain in Brazil. The taxonomy of the genus in Brazil continues to need study. Here we present a taxonomic synopsis of Chamaecrista for the Chapada dos Veadeiros (CV) region, which is located in the northern portion of the state of Goiás, Brazil. Fieldwork was carried out in the area between 2010 and 2018; we also reviewed the literature and about 1500 herbarium collections to build the synopsis of species presented here. We record 65 species (71 taxa) of Chamaecrista occurring in the CV, corresponding to 60% of the species registered for the state of Goiás; 49 species at Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (CVNP), 27 and 19 are endemic to the state of Goiás and the studied area respectively. An identification key and distribution maps, as well as comments on morphology and conservation status are presented, together with photograhs of the species in the field.

The orchid bee fauna of Estação Ecológica de Murici (ESEC Murici), in the state of Alagoas, one of the largest remnants of the Atlantic Rain Forest in northeastern Brazil, was surveyed for the first time. Seven hundred and twenty-one orchid-bee males belonging to 17 species were collected from the 3rd to the 10th of September, 2009. Besides the recently described Eulaema (Apeulaema) felipei Nemésio, 2010, three other species recorded at ESEC Murici deserve further attention: Euglossa amazonica Dressler, 1982b, recorded for the first time outside the Amazon Basin; Euglossa milenae Bembé, 2007 and Euglossa analis Westwood, 1840, both recorded for the first time in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil north to São Francisco river. These results together with previous samplings in the state of Alagoas reveal that at least 22 orchid-bee species are now known to occur there. Three other species not recorded for Alagoas yet are known from the neighbor states of Sergipe, Pernambuco, and Paraíba. An identification key to all 25 species of Euglossina known to occur in the states of Alagoas, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Paraíba, and Rio Grande do Norte is provided.

Leafy Liverwort

Chapada das Mesas National Park (CMNP) is the fourth largest conservation unit in Maranhão state and an important area for the study of bryophytes due to its geomorphological characteristics, predominant vegetation, and water potential. The aim of our study was to investigate the richness and composition of leafy liverwort species in CMNP, discuss the importance of this area in the state, and present an updated checklist of the leafy liverworts for Maranhão. Our botanical material was collected during four excursions to the park. The checklist was mainly based on literature reports. Forty-one species and two varieties in eight families and 20 genera were identified in CMNP. From the state of Maranhão, 106 species and two varieties in nine families and 39 genera are reported. Our survey of bryophytes in CMNP resulted in the first records from Maranhão of 19 species. Lejeunea juruana Gradst. & M.E.Reiner is also newly found in the Northeastern region of Brazil and in the Cerrado domain.
