This work presents a list of the Angiosperms that occurs in a fragment of the Atlantic Forest, Recôncavo da Bahia region. The present study was carried out in the Serra da Copioba in the municipality of São Felipe, Bahia State, Brazil. Botanical expeditions were carried out in the studied area between the years 2016 and 2017. The collections were performed in trails throughout the region of the Serra da Copioba. The specimens were housed in the Herbarium of the Recôncavo da Bahia (HURB). We found 306 species. The rates of endemism registered by this study are 20.46% for species occurring exclusively in the Atlantic Forest and 4.25% are endemic to Bahia State. The good indexes of endemism added to the exclusive occurrence of plants make the Copioba Mountain an important remnant of the Atlantic Forest of the region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
