Hydro-Edaphic Gradient and Phylogenetic History Explain the Landscape Distribution of a Highly Diverse Clade of Lianas in the Brazilian Amazon.
Plant distribution patterns may indicate habitat specialization either by closely related species with conserved traits or by phylogenetically distant species with converging traits. Lianas represent a large proportion of the overall tropical species diversity and abundance. Despite their importance, little is known about the relationship between habitat specialization and the... -

A taxonomic account of Myrcia (Myrtaceae) at the sites of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, Amazonas, Brazil.
Abstract Myrcia is the sole genus of the Myrciinae, one of the nine subtribes of Myrteae (Myrtaceae). The Amazon forest holds about one-quarter of the Brazilian species of Myrcia, but the genus is still understudied in this whole region. In this context, this study presents a floristic survey of Myrcia...Gaem, Paulo Henrique ; Lucas, Eve ; Andrade, Ana ; Vicentini, Alberto ; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda

A new species of Leiothrix (Eriocaulaceae) from the Espinhaço Range, Bahia, Brazil.
A new species of Leiothrix (Eriocaulaceae) from Brazil is described and illustrated. Leiothrix raymondii is a restricted endemic living under the shelter of rocks, in large rocky outcrops, occurring in the Northern part of the Espinhaço range in Bahia state, Brazil. The species is here assessed as endangered.Rocky field, Bahia (Brazil), Brazil, Espinhaço Range (Brazil), Leiothrix raymondii, Taxonomy, and Monocots
