“…The total number of bamboos in Espírito Santo thereby rises to 52 species (nine endemics) and 18 genera. This finding reinforces the fact that Espírito Santo, along with Bahia and Minas Gerais, is an important centre of diversity for bamboos in Brazil (Soderstrom et al 1988;Clark 1990;Oliveira et al 2011;Ferreira et al 2020aFerreira et al , 2020bFerreira et al , 2020cFerreira et al , 2020dFerreira et al , 2021aFerreira et al , 2021bFerreira et al , 2022.…”

“…While Pariana (ca 28 species) is distributed throughout the Amazon Basin, extending into wet forests of Central America (Hollowell 1987;Judziewicz et al 1999;Ferreira et al 2019;Dias et al 2021), Eremitis Döll (17 species) and Parianella have their distributions restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Ferreira et al 2013a(Ferreira et al , 2013b(Ferreira et al , 2016(Ferreira et al , 2019(Ferreira et al , 2020a(Ferreira et al , 2020b(Ferreira et al , 2020c(Ferreira et al , 2020d(Ferreira et al , 2021a(Ferreira et al , 2021b(Ferreira et al , 2022.…”

“…The entire territory of the state of Espírito Santo lies in the central region of the Atlantic Forest, split into the BCF and KWF subregions (Saiter et al 2016;Alves-Araújo et al 2022). The central region of the Atlantic Forest harbours high biodiversity and incidence of endemic and threatened species (Thomas et al 1998;Martini et al 2007;Ostroski et al 2018), including bamboos (Soderstrom et al 1988;Clark 1990;Oliveira et al 2011;Ferreira et al 2020a).…”

Background and aims – Parianella is a relatively recently described genus of the subtribe Parianinae (Poaceae, Bambusoideae, Olyreae) that includes two species, and it is supposedly endemic to the Bahian Coastal Forests in the central region of Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Herein, we describe and illustrate a new species of the genus, comparing it with the other species of Parianella. We also provide an updated distribution map of the genus and the conservation status of the new taxon. Material and methods – This study was based on the analysis of herbarium specimens and a literature review. The conservation assessment is based on field observations and spatial analyses, following IUCN guidelines and criteria. Key results – During a review of the Poaceae collection of the MBML Herbarium, two Parianinae specimens with interesting features were found. A detailed morphological analysis revealed that these specimens belong to a new species of Parianella. The new taxon was collected in two localities in the southern portion of the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo, one in the municipality of Santa Leopoldina and the other in the Duas Bocas Biological Reserve, municipality of Cariacica. Both localities are situated in the Krenák-Waitaká Forests, one of the three subregions of the central Atlantic Forest region, and an area of great floristic diversity, including bamboo species. Conclusion – Parianella capixaba represents the southernmost distribution of the genus known to date. With the description of this new species, the total number of bamboos in Espírito Santo state rises to 52 species in 18 genera.

“…Among the herbaceous bamboos, a lineage strongly supported by molecular phylogenetic analyses (Ferreira et al 2019) occurring in Bahia is represented by the subtribe Parianinae, which includes three genera: Eremitis Döll with 14 described species, all of them endemic to the Atlantic Forest (five endemic to the BCF subregion) (Ferreira et al 2013a(Ferreira et al , 2016(Ferreira et al , 2019(Ferreira et al , 2020a(Ferreira et al , 2020b(Ferreira et al , 2020c(Ferreira et al , 2020d(Ferreira et al , 2021; Parianella Hollowell, F.M.Ferreira & R.P.Oliveira with two species, both endemic to the BCF subregion (Ferreira et al 2013b); and Pariana Aubl. with 27 species restricted to southern Central America and northern South America, especially in the Amazon region (Ferreira et al 2013b(Ferreira et al , 2019.…”

Background and aims – We here describe two new species of Eremitis from Bahia, Brazil, and compare them with morphologically similar species. We also provide illustrations, photos, a distribution map, and notes on habitat and conservation status of the new species.Material and methods – This study was based on fieldwork, analysis of herbarium specimens, and literature review. Specimens collected were analyzed and photographed during fieldwork and observed in cultivation in a greenhouse. The conservation assessment is based on field observations and spatial analyses, following the IUCN guidelines and criteria.Results – Eremitis clarkiae sp. nov. occurs in southern Bahia and has been collected only twice, in the municipality of Floresta Azul. The new species is similar to E. jardimii and E. robusta, both also endemic to Bahia, but can be distinguished by several vegetative and reproductive structures longer than those observed in these species, such as leafy culms, ligules, decumbent culm inflorescences, and pedicels of the staminate spikelets of the staminate whorls. Eremitis vinacea sp. nov. was collected in three localities in southern Bahia, but only the type population was found during recent field trips, in the municipality of Camacã. It is similar to E. afimbriata, a species endemic to Espírito Santo state, being differentiated by its leaf sheaths with persistent fimbriae (vs absent), leaf blades with green adaxial surface (vs bluish green with a blue iridescence), and a single inflorescence on decumbent culms (vs multiple). Both new species are endemic to the Bahian Coastal Forests subregion and should be considered Critically Endangered (CR), according to the IUCN guidelines and criteria.

Fieldwork has historically increased knowledge about plant biodiversity in Brazil, including the herbaceous bamboos (grass tribe Olyreae), which is almost exclusive to the Neotropical region. Several new species and three new genera from both Atlantic and Amazonian forests were described from this tribe in the past 15 years. Our recent collections in the central region of Espírito Santo state revealed two distinct populations of a sterile but probably undescribed species similar to members of Eremitis in the subtribe Parianinae (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Olyreae). Only after recollection did we find plants with synflorescences, which turned out to be very similar to members of Parianella. We investigated the macro- and micromorphology of those specimens and estimated the phylogenetic placement of type collection based on two plastid markers, which recovered it as an independent lineage sister to the Pariana + Eremitis clade. We herein describe this entity as the new genus Aemulanthus and the new species Aemulanthus decumbens, distinguishable mainly by the presence of spiciform synflorescences on decumbent culms composed of monomorphic gynaecandrous whorls, with long laminar pedicels in the male spikelets, also using information given by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the leaf blades. Aemulanthus is endemic to central Espírito Santo state, Brazil, and is considered Critically Endangered (CR) following IUCN guidelines. The description of this new genus increases our understanding of the diversity and evolution within this group. It also reinforces the need to preserve local floras, which can be important resources for knowledge about and conservation of Neotropical forests.
