Floristics in restinga phytophysiognomies in Bahia, northeastern Brazil

The aim in the present study was to make a list of species occurring in a restinga area in Jaguaripe, Bahia, with data on endemism and distribution, as well as relating them to the different phytophysiognomies found. The collections occurred periodically between June 2014 and August 2017. In the stu...

Sumario:The aim in the present study was to make a list of species occurring in a restinga area in Jaguaripe, Bahia, with data on endemism and distribution, as well as relating them to the different phytophysiognomies found. The collections occurred periodically between June 2014 and August 2017. In the study area, 195 species were collected, distributed in 150 genera and 65 families. The most diverse families were Fabaceae and Rubiaceae, while Myrcia DC. was the most representative genera. Among the habitats found, the herbaceous species had the highest number of species, totaling 90 species, fol- lowed by shrubs (61), vines (24) and trees with 20 species. Floristic studies in other restingas of Bahia have indicated the occurrence of the same families as the ones of greater wealth in species, however, the number of species of the present study was among the lowest in the state. Several species are endemic to the phytogeographical domain of the Atlantic Forest, the restinga or the state of Bahia. Five species are invasive or naturalized. The data obtained in the present study can support conservation actions for the restingas.
