“…The most diverse families in number of species in the Serra do Urubu (Orchidaceae, Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Bromeliaceae, Poaceae, Asteraceae, Melastomataceae and Solanaceae) were also the most species-rich in floristic studies of montane areas in southern Bahia, such as in the Serra do Corcovado (Coelho and Amorim 2014), Serra Bonita and Serra das Lontras (Amorim et al 2009;Leitman et al 2014). A similar pattern of richness was found in Una where Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Myrtaceae, Bromeliaceae, Orchidaceae and Melastomataceae were the most species-rich families, listed in descending order.…”
