In spite of playing a key role in aquatic ecosystems, by providing food and habitat for many organisms (Balian et al. 2008), aquatic macrophytes are the most neglected group in limnological studies (Esteves 1998). In general, they are species with broad geographic distribution (Santamaria and Van Viers- & Tatiana Lobato de Magalhaes sen 1997) that have different levels of flooding tolerance.

Its altitudes vary between 800 and 1600 m but not rooted in the substrate). We analyzed species a.s.l. The local vegetation is predominantly composed of conservation status from two perspectives: extinction risk grasses and classified as campos de altitude (montane grasslands), but also includes remnants of a mixed rain- forest, also known as arauca´ria forest. The average tem- peratures in winter and summer are 10.5 and 17.5 °C, respectively, and the climate is classified as a subtropical, type Cfb in the Ko¨ppen system. The average annual rainfall of 1600 mm is evenly distributed throughout the year (Andrade et al. 2008, INMET 2014). The banhados, classified as wetlands by several bota- nists, occur within natural grasslands and are considered permanently protected areas (Santa Catarina 2009). The predominant soils in these wetlands are Gleysols and Organosols, which are hydromorphic soils, typical of areas with water saturation that retain large deposits of organic matter (Almeida et al. 2007). We selected three wetlands areas: Area 1, in Bom Jardim da Serra (28°1905400S– 49°4004600W; 1213 m a.s.l.); Area 2, in Lages, locality of Coxilha Rica (28°1701800S–50°3204600W; 989 m a.s.l.); and Area 3, in Painel (27°5900800S-50°0505800W; 1252 m a.s.l.). The three study areas are located within private properties, where natural grasslands occur, and the water depth in the wetlands varies between 0–20 cm. Data collection was carried out in January and February 2012 (blossom season). In total, we sampled 12 transects Fig. 1 Example of the inward transect 123 Plant distribution in freshwater wetlands of the Brazilian subtropical highland grasslands and species listed as indicators of preserved environments. and Juncus L.

    A BIBLIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF BEAUVOIS' AGROSTO- • GRAPHIE By Cornelia D. Niles WITH INTRODUCTION AND BOTANICAL NOTES By Aones Chase nrntODTJCTiON The Essai d?une Nouvelle Agrostographie ; ou Nouveaux Genres des Graminees; avec figures representant les Oaracteres de tous les Genres, by A. M. F. J. Palisot de Beauvois, published in 1812, is, from the standpoint of the nomenclature of grasses, a very important work, its importance being due principally to its innumerable errors, less so because of its scientific value. In this small volume 69 new genera are proposed and some 640 new species, new binomials, and new names are published. Of the 69 genera proposed 31 are to-day recognized as valid, and of the 640 names about 61 are commonly accepted. There is probably not a grass flora of any considerable region anywhere in the world that does not contain some of Beauvois' names. Many of the new names are made in such haphazard fashion that they are incorrectly listed in the Index Kewensis. There are, besides, a number of misspelled names that have found their way into botanical literature. The inaccuracies are so numerous and the cita- tions so incomplete that only a trained bibliographer* could solve the many puzzles presented. Cornelia D. Niles in connection with her work on the bibliography of grasses, maintained in the form of a card catalogue in the Grass Herbarium, worked out the basis in literature of each of these new names. The botanical problems involved, the interpretation of descriptions and figures, were worked out by Agnes Chase, who is also respon- sible for the translation and summaries from the Advertisement, Introduction, and Principles.

  • Upper Montane Grassland Structure Within Six Subranges of Serra Do Mar, Southern Brazil1
    Hoehnea 43(3): 401-435, 18 tab., 3 fig., 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2236-8906-90/2015 Upper montane grassland structure within six subranges of Serra do Mar, Southern Brazil1 Maurício Bergamini Scheer2,4 and Alan Yukio Mocochinski3 Received: 11.01.2016; accepted: 8.07.2016 ABSTRACT - (Upper montane grassland structure within six subranges of Serra do Mar, Southern Brazil). The phytosociological structure of upper montane grasslands (high altitude grasslands) was studied in six subranges of Serra do Mar. Throughout 324 (1 m2) plot samples, we identified 195 taxa out of 280 taxa previously found in a floristic survey. Besides the general analysis of these communities, five physiognomies (synusiae) of these grasslands were previously determined based upon the species with greater cover. Cryptangium triquetrum and Croton mullerianus had the highest phytosociological importance value among the upper montane grasslands sampled in the present study. The first species was the most important of the grassy physiognomy of all sampled subranges and the second one of the shrubby physiognomy within three subranges. Chusquea pinifolia, Machaerina austrobrasiliensis, Deschampsia caespitosa, Gleichenella pectitata, Tibouchina dubia, Xyris stenophylla, Eryngium koehnearum and Eriochrysis holcoides were also structurally important. Although considerable species richness has been observed, the dominance of one or few species in the community was common in all subranges and physiognomies. In a brief comparison with upper montane vegetation studies (mainly on rocky outcrops) carried out in Southeastern Brazil, a low sharing of species was verified. Furthermore, the scarcity of studies in the literature regarding floristic and sociological structure of upper montane grasslands hampers a deeper analysis at level of species.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Ornamental plants are distinguished by the shape and color of their leaves/flowers and their use in landscaping and gardening. In urban areas, their presence is relevant for the maintenance of bees. Aiming to list the ornamental bee plants species occurring in Santa Catarina State (SC), southern Brazil, a survey of forage resources for bees, recorded in the State, was performed. We refer all published works developed in SC (resulting in the period 1983-2014) which include data from reports of scientific research, monographs, dissertations, Masters Dissertations, Doctoral Thesis, annals of scientific events, scientific articles and books. From the 28 ensuant works, we listed, as ornamental bee plants occurring in SC, 201 species, of 156 genera and 66 botanical fami- lies. Of these species, 92 are native (N), 26 endemic to Brazil and 109 exotic (E). Families with more ornamental bee species are: Fabaceae (22 species), Asteraceae (20), Solanaceae (11), Rosa- ceae (10) and Lamiaceae (8).
