AbstractThis study consists of a floristic survey of the Elaeocarpaceae in ferrginous outcrops of the Serra dos Carajás, Pará, Brazil. Identification keys, morphological descriptions, illustrations, geographical distribution and taxonomic comments are provided for the species treated. In the area only the genus Sloanea is found, represented by six species.
This study presents a taxonomic treatment of Anacardium for the state of Pará (Brazil), based on the analysis of specimens from herbaria (CEN, ESA, IAN, INPA, MBM, MFS, MG, RB, UB, and UEC), material collected in the field, and images of specimens from virtual databases. Species identifications were confirmed by consultation of protologues and types or images of types. A morphoanatomical analysis of the leaves of Anacardium was conducted to support taxonomic characterizations. Descriptions, plates, a distribution map, and an identification key for the species of Anacardium occurring in Pará (A. amapaense, A. giganteum, A. humile, A. microsepalum, A. occidentale, and A. spruceanum) are provided.
