Private environmental consultancy reveals five genera and ten species of angiosperms new to Rio Grande do Norte state, northeastern Brazil https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/25463/ Check List 14(2): 439-451

DOI: 10.15560/14.2.439

Authors: Edweslley Otaviano de Moura, Valdeci Fontes de Sousa, Arthur de Souza Soares, Leonardo M. Versieux

Abstract: New occurrences of 10 species of angiosperms from Rio Grande do Norte state are reported. These data were collected by an environmental consultancy prior to the establishment of a wind farm. These records demonstrate the presence of knowledge gaps in the Caatinga flora of the state and show how an environmental consultancy can positively contribute towards the documentation of biodiversity in areas prior to their modification by human activities. In particular, at a time when the Brazilian Congress is discussing the elimination of environmental studies for licensing new developments, these new occurrence data highlight the importance of environmental studies.

Climbers from two rock outcrops in the semi-arid region of Brazil https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/20765/ Check List 13(5): 417-427

DOI: 10.15560/13.5.417

Authors: Danielly da Silva Lucena, Maria de Fátima de A. Lucena, Marccus Alves

Abstract: This study aimed to recognize the floristic composition, the life form and the distribution of species of climbing plants occurring on 2 rock outcrops in the state of Pernambuco. Monthly botanical collections were made from February to September 2015 at Pedra do Cruzeiro (08°09′02.9″ S, 035°45′22.3″ W), municipality of Bezerros and Pico do Papagaio (07°49′25.7″ S, 038°03′14.8″ W), municipality of Triunfo. Fertile specimens were collected following the standard methodology in taxonomy. A total of 58 species were identified from the 2 areas, all widely distributed in Brazil and belonging to 20 botanical families. Apocynaceae, Convolvulaceae, Bignoniaceae, Dioscoreaceae and Fabaceae comprise 60% of all species. The predominant life form was phanerophyte (62%). As for the growth form, 67% of the climbers are herbaceous vines. The adaptation of twining was observed in 69% of species. Six new records for the state of Pernambuco were also identified. The rock outcrops studied show high species richness in relation to the found for climbers in other rock outcrops in the Brazilian Northeast Region.
