Abstract
The Mata dos Godoy State Park (MGSP) is a remnant of the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest in northern Paraná, with an area of 690 hectares. The MGSP flora inventory was produced from a survey of herbarium specimens deposited in the FUEL Herbarium. The result was the catalogue of 508 species, among which we screened 40 specimens of ferns and lycophytes, and the remainder was classified as angiosperms. The two richest families among the ferns were Polypodiaceae and Pteridaceae, whereas among the arboreal angiosperms, Leguminosae and Myrtaceae stood out, confirming the floristic profile of the lower Tibagi River basin. Among the species, 12 can be classified as naturalized and 21 are among the threatened species in the state of Paraná, besides the inclusion of species whose collections were reduced in Brazil. These results indicate the MGSP as an important area for the representation of the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest in northern Paraná.
