“…A new species of Araceae (Anthurium genus) recorded during fieldwork (voucher: J. M. C. Covre 93), is in description phase. On the other hand, Alcantarea patriae Versieux & Wand (Versieux & Wanderley, 2007), Anthurium martinellii Nadruz & Theófilo (Coelho & Valadares, 2019), Coleocephalocereus uebelmanniorum (Braun & Esteves) Braun, Esteves & Hofacker, Pitcairnia azouryi Martinelli & Forzza (Martinelli & Forzza, 2006), and Stigmatodon attenuatoides (Couto, Manhães & Costa, 2020) were described from collections obtained in the PAC. Of these species, Alcantarea patriae, Anthurium martinellii, Coleocephalocereus uebelmanniorum and Stigmatodon attenuatoides are endemic to the inselbergs of Jerônimo Monteiro and Cachoeiro de Itapemirim.…”

Inselbergs are granitic or gneissic rocky outcrops prevalent in the landscape of southeastern Brazil. These ecosystems represent islands of isolated habitats that harbor a peculiar flora with high richness and endemism. The present study lists the species of vascular plants occurring in the Pedra da Andorinha Complex, located in the municipality of Jerônimo Monteiro/Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, southern Espírito Santo state, aiming to generate subsidies for the creation of a protected area. The survey was performed between July 2017 and October 2018, resulting in a record of 121 species, 96 genera, and 40 families. Bromeliaceae (17), Orchidaceae (12) and Fabaceae (10) were the richest families. The phytophysiognomy of exposed rock vegetation comprises a greater number of species (79 species) compared to the woody rupicolous communities (42). Eighteen of the collected species are threatened by extinction; a new species was discovered; and five were described based on materials previously collected in the studied location — Alcantarea patriae, Anthurium martinellii, Coleocephalocereus uebelmanniorum, Stigmatodon attenuatoides and Pitcairnia azouryi, the first four being endemic to the region. We also found Tabebuia reticulata, a rare species among Brazilian flora. Our results highlight the biological importance of the Pedra das Andorinhas Complex and reinforce the need to create a protected area to preserve biodiversity and the regional natural heritage.

“…This diversity can be even greater, taking into account that the Espírito Santo still represents a gap in the knowledge of the plant diversity along the Atlantic Forest. This is particullarly observed in the south portion of the state, where a remarkable number of new bromeliad species was discovered in the past years: Pitcairnia azouryi (Martinelli & Forzza 2006); Alcantarea patriae (Versieux & Wanderley 2007), Nidularium alegrense, Pitcairnia capixaba, Tillandsia castelensis (Leme et al 2010a), Pitcairnia diversifolia (Leme et al 2010b Neotrop.,vol. 13,no.…”

Bromeliaceae is one of the most relevant taxonomic groups of the Atlantic Forest, where the Brazilian southeastern region stands out as a center of diversity and endemism for many taxa of the family. We present a checklist of the 12 genera and 44 species of Bromeliaceae from the Pedra dos Pontões, in Mimoso do Sul municipality, Espírito Santo state, southeastern Brazil. The Bromelioideae (22 species) was the subfamily with most taxonomic diversity, followed by Tillandsioideae (18 species) and Pitcairnioideae (four species). We also report the first occurrence of four species (A. squarrosa , N. antoineanum , V. pseudoatra and V. pardalina ) for the Espírito Santo state. Almost half of the taxa surveyed inhabit exclusively the vegetation associated to the rocky outcrops, what points out the importance of this kind of environment in the maintenance of the diversity for many species of bromeliads. We also highlight that the documentation and study of the flora of Espírito Santo, which is considered a gap in the knowledge of the plant diversity along the entire Brazilian Atlantic Forest, assumes a relevant aspect in view of the high levels of degradation of the natural ecosystems observed in the state. Resumo: Bromeliaceae é um dos grupos taxonômicos mais relevantes da Floresta Atlântica, onde o sudeste do Brasil se destaca como um centro de diversidade e endemismo de muitos táxons da família. Nós apresentamos uma lista de 12 gêneros e 44 espécies de Bromeliaceae da Pedra dos Pontões, no município de Mimoso do Sul, estado do Espírito Santo, sudeste do Brasil. Bromelioideae (22 espécies) foi a subfamília com maior diversidade taxonômica, seguida por Tillandsioideae (18 espécies) e Pitcairnioideae (quatro espécies). Nós também reportamos a primeira ocorrência de quatro espécies (A. squarrosa , N. antoineanum , V. pseudoatra e V. pardalina ) para o estado do Espírito Santo. Quase a metade dos táxons levantados habita exclusivamente a vegetação associada ao afloramento rochoso, o que ressalta a importância deste tipo de ambiente na manutenção da diversidade de muitas espécies de bromélias. Destacamos também que a documentação e estudo da flora do Espírito Santo, considerada uma lacuna no conhecimento da diversidade de plantas ao longo da Floresta Atlântica, assume um aspecto relevante tendo em vista os altos níveis de degradação dos ecossistemas naturais observados no estado.

“…In 2007, Versieux and Wanderley described a new species of bromeliad denominated Alcantarea patriae Versieux & Wand. This species naturally occurs in small fragmented populations occurring exclusively in some inselbergs in the Southern State of Espírito Santo (Versieux and Wanderley, 2007). These sites are located on private properties outside conservation units and are subject to several types of impacts, such as fire degradation, invasion of exotic species and extractive collection (Manhães et al, 2016).…”

“…patriae has some ecological and economic characteristics attractive to landscaping, such as rusticity, beauty, the practicality of cultivation, and durability of its inflorescence and its flowers that present green/yellow coloring (Versieux, 2009). Ornamental interest encourages the illegal extraction of this species in natural populations (Versieux and Wanderley, 2007), which combined with other factors such as limited geographic distribution, reduced population size, and environmental degradation may promote genetic loss.…”

ABSTRACT.The Alcantarea patriae is a Bromeliaceae endemic to the inselbergs of the Atlantic Forest. This taxon, described in the year of 2007 by Versieux & Wanderley, presents restricted and fragmented distribution outside conservation units. Studies to evaluate the genetic structure of its populations can contribute to the conservation and management strategies for the species. In this study, 31 microsatellite markers, descriptive to six different Bromeliaceae species, were evaluated by cross-amplification tests in 20 individuals of A. patriae. The individuals were collected in the district of Vila Cruzeiro, in the municipality of Jerônimo Monteiro. Twelve markers were polymorphic and 10 monomorphic, with an amplification success rate of 71%. The displayed polymorphism information content was considered high, indicating that the selected markers are informative. The values found for the fixation index were positive and indicated the occurrence of inbreeding. The mean number of alleles was 4.66 (3-6), the mean expected and observed heterozygosities were 0.6605 and 0.4618, respectively. The detection of polymorphic markers was important for future studies of diversity and genetic structuring of natural populations and for germplasm bank creation aiming to contribute to in situ and ex situ conservations of A. patriae.
