Levantamento florístico do Parque Estadual Guirá

Abstract

Brazil has only 12% of its territory destined for Conservation Units. There are currently 526 units, 336 are federal and 191 state-run. In the Pantanal-North biome we have the Conservation Units of Taiamã Ecological Station, Guirá State Park, Matogrossense Pantanal National Park, Encontro das Águas State Park, Transpantaneira Park Road and Sesc Pantanal Natural Reserve. Among these conservation units, data on the flora of the Parque Estadual Guirá are insufficient and a greater collection effort is needed to sample and catalog the diversity of species occurring in the area. The objective of this work was to manage, prepare and insert the specimens in the Species Link database, as well as to evaluate the conservation status of the species collected in the Guirá State Park. 66 species, 60 genera, 30 botanical families were collected. Among the plants collected, ten species have the conservation status evaluated, there are six trees (Astronium urundeuva (M. Allemão) Engl., Handroanthus heptaphyllus (Vell.) Mattos, Bowdichia virgilioides Kunth, Lafoensia pacari A.St.-Hil.; Sterculia apetala (Jacq.) H. Karst.; Genipa americana L.), a subshrub (Cochlospermum regium (Mart. ex Schrank) Pilg.), two vines (Ipomoea subrevoluta Choisy; Cissampelos pareira L.) and a hemiparasite (Psittacanthus acinarius (Mart.) Mart.).
