Levantamento florístico das Pteridophyta na Estação ecológica municipal de Fênix, Paraná, Brasil

Abstract

In Paraná are few studies of Pteridophyta in semideciduous forest, compared to other types that occur in the state. This study aimed to survey the flora species of Pteridophyta and record the different habits of life in the Estação Ecológica Municipal de Fênix. To conduct this study were taken weekly excursions collection Conservation Unit, using the usual techniques for collecting floristic surveys. All material collected was identified and stored permanently in the herbarium of the Federal Technological University of Paraná Campus Campo Mourão. The material no identified was referred to the Botanical Museum of Curitiba (MBM). 16 genera were found in nine families. Of the nine families that are registered by the Flora of Brazil for seasonal forest of Paraná, Osmundaceae not only occurs in the Conservation Unit. Among families collected at Station are present Aspleniaceae, Athyriaceae, Blechnaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Polypodiaceae, Pteridaceae, Tectariaceae, Thelypteridaceae. Despite the sampling effort was not satisfactory, to compare the study area with a nearby site with the same features (Parque Estadual de Vila Rica do Espírito Santo, Fênix- PR), it can be noted that the number of species collected at the station had only four species unless the Park, but this number is likely to be overcome since the work, and continue, still has plants to be identified.
