“…Eschweilera complanata S.A. Mori (1995: 16) (Dutra et al 2015 and Lecythis sp.1 (Ribeiro et al 2014) were previously recorded to the state and are now treated as E. sphaerocarpa M. Ribeiro & S.A. Mori (2016: 268) and L. marcgraaviana Miers (1874: 210). The first species is newly described, and the second species was resurrected (Smith et al 2016b). Two species native to Amazonian forest are cultivated in state: Couroupita guianensis Aublet (1775: 708), called abricó-de-macaco or the cannon-ball tree; and Bertholletia excelsa Bonpland (1807: 122), called castanha-do-Brasil, castanha-do-Pará, or the Brazil nut.…”

“…This species is endemic to the Atlantic Forest (Smith et al 2016a). In Espírito Santo, it is restricted to tabuleiro forest; we did not record specimens from restinga forest, as reported by Smith et al (2016b) for Paraíba. It is known as sapucaiú (D.A.…”

“…Due to the morphological similarities, incomplete collections and short descriptions on the labels (especially the color of floral parts) at the time, Mori (1990a) synonymized this taxon, along with others, under L. pisonis. The species has recently been reestablished and its morphology detailed by Smith et al (2016b). It has been collected with flowers in January and February and with immature and mature fruits in July.…”

The Lecythidaceae clade has a pantropical distribution and comprises 24 genera and 355 species. Ten genera and 121 species occur in Brazil, where species richness is highest in Amazonia. Four genera and 14 species were recorded in Espírito Santo, as well as two cultivated species. Important characters used to identify the species are the morphology of the bark, shape and size of the leaves, presence and shape of trichomes on the leaves and inflorescences, inflorescence type, morphology and color of the perianth (especially the petals), morphology of the androecium, shape and dimension of the fruits and seeds, and morphology of the arils. Identification keys, descriptions, illustrations, and comments for the taxa are provided.

Summary. This work evaluates the conservation status of the 22 species of Lecythidaceae native to eastern Brazil. Assessments based on current IUCN criteria, distribution maps, and an identification key to the native and nonnative species from the area are provided. The results of this study suggest that over half of the species are threatened (vulnerable or endangered), four species should be added to the IUCN Red List, and the status of seven species currently on this list should be changed. It was found that nearly all collections of endangered species are from or occur within 20 km of a reserve, which clearly shows that protected areas are of vital importance for the survival of most endangered Lecythidaceae from this region.
