For over five years, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York, USA (NY), and the Center for Cocoa Research, Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil (CEPEC), have been collaborating to conserve and better understand the flora of southern Bahia, Brazil, with funding from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. This collaboration includes a program to collect plants in the area's different vegetation types, quantitative inventory of specific forest sites, education of local students, increasing public awareness of the impact of deforestation, and infrastructure support for CEPEC. One of our study sites has been the Una Biological Reserve. Below we present a preliminary checklist of the plant species of the Reserve along with introductory information on the Atlantic coastal forest of Brazil.
The coastal rain forest once extended from Rio Grande do Norte south to the coastal area of Rio Grande do Sul, forming a narrow fringe of forest sandwiched between the ocean and the dry uplands of the planalto. Because of its geographic isolation from other forest types, this forest has one of the highest percentages of endemism in the world: over 50% of the tree species (Mori et al. 1981) and 92% of the amphibians (Lynch 1979) are found nowhere else in the world. Thus, the assemblage of plant and animal species found here is not merely a displaced portion of the Amazonian forest, but constitutes a unique floristic province that is seriously threatened (Mori et al. 1983, Mori 1989).
Despite sharing some of its flora and fauna with the Amazonian forest (Brown 1987b, Mori 1989), the Atlantic forests have been considered to be a distinct neotropical forest type (Lynch 1979, Cracraft 1985, Vanzolini 1988, Mori 1989). In recent surveys of the biota of South American tropical forests, the Atlantic forest region of Brazil is widely considered to comprise one or more distinct areas of endemism (Duellman 1979, Prance 1982, 1988, Buckley et al. 1985, Brown 1987a, 1987b, Whitmore & Prance 1987, Vanzolini and Heyer 1988). For many groups of organisms (including plants, some Lepidoptera, some Hymenoptera, and amphibians), southern Bahia and northern Espírito Santo are thought to comprise a distinct area of endemism (Richards 1978, Lynch 1979, Brown 1987a, Prance 1988).
In southern Bahia, the remaining coastal forests occupy a belt approximately 100-200 km wide along the Atlantic coast. The forests gradually become drier inland, changing from the littoral restinga forest to the southern Bahian wet forest (rain forest) to the southern Bahian moist forest (subdeciduous forest) to the liana forest (seasonally dry deciduous forest) (Gouvêa et al. 1976, Mori 1989). Each of these forest types occupies a narrow zone up to 50 km wide within the coastal forest belt and varies in composition depending on elevation, soils, and drainage. Within the southern Bahian wet forest zone, variation in soils and topography results in a patchwork of diverse micro-habitats within the superficially uniform forest type.
The inland vegetation of the Reserve is classified as southern Bahian wet forest (mata higrófila sul-Bahiana of Gouvêa et al. 1976) and that near the coast as restinga over sand. The lack of a distinct dry season and the high rainfall (over 1300 mm per year) place both reserves within the Af climatic region (hot, moist tropical forests) of Köppen (1936).
The Reserve was created in 1980 and is located in the Municipio of Una, ca. 40 km south of the city of Ilhéus, Bahia (15°10'S, 39°03'W). Now comprising 7000 hectares of protected land, the Reserve is irregularly shaped, 15 km long east to west and 8 km wide north to south. The town of Una, from 1965-1973, received an average rainfall of 1918 mm/year (Rocha Filho 1976) and experiences 1-2 dry months per year in which less than 5 percent of the annual precipitation falls (Roeder 1975). The eastern half of the Reserve, nearest the coast, has two principal soil types that support a distinct vegetation type, the restinga forest. While most of this half of the Reserve is primary forest, ca. 700 ha is disturbed. While restinga vegetation is often only shrubby, in the Reserve it is a forest that can be distinguished by the presence of an endemic palm, Attalea funifera Mart. To the west, the restinga forest is replaced by southern Bahian wet forest (rain forest) over laterite. Of this 3500 ha, ca. 1500 ha is degraded land, most of it disturbed forest. Locally, the high variation in these laterites may partly explain the variation we have observed in composition of the vegetation.
The checklist's family sequence is that of The New York Botanical Garden, starting with the ferns and fern allies followed by the monocots and then the dicots. Genera and species are alphabetical within each family. Basically, we have included only identified species, occasionally we have included "sp. nov." when a specialist has confirmed that a collection represents a new species. Some genera are listed followed only by "sp."; this indicates that there is at least one other unidentified species of that genus besides any listed that are already identified to species. We are considering expanding the list to include all the separate "morphospecies" we can distinguish, even if they are currently unidentified.
Each species is represented in the list by one voucher collection, even though there may be other collections of the species; in time, other vouchers will be added to the list. All collections cited are represented at CEPEC and all except unicates at NY. The most frequently cited collectors are abbreviated as follows: André M. Amorim (AA), André M. de Carvalho (AC), Jomar Jardim (JJ), Sergio Sant'Ana (SS), and Wm. Wayt Thomas (WT).
Some species names are highlighted and are linked to images. The images are from photographic slides taken in the field and transferred to a Kodak PhotoCD. The images were then cropped and transferred to the JPG format. All images are high quality with good exposure, color and focus; if the image on your screen is poor, you may have equipment or a web browser that may not be able to maximize the quality of the image. In order to ensure that the images can be viewed without excessive delay, the size of the image file has been kept small. Should you require a more detailed image, write wthomas@nybg.org explaining your needs.
The geographic distributions of the species in this list are indicated by the following codes: CF = entire coastal forest of Brazil; CF-N = coastal forest, Bahia and north; CF-S = coastal forest, bahia and south; DJ = Amazonian disjuncts; E = endemic to southern Bahia and northern Esp¡rito Santo; Pan = Pantropical; SA = South America; Unk = distribution unknown.
