Abstract:Este trabalho faz parte de uma série de estudos realizada com as licófitas e monilófitas da Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã, a qual abrange cerca de 200.000 ha, composta especialmente por floresta de terra firme, florestas inundáveis (várzea e igapó), vegetação savanóide e vegetação secundária. A área de estudo localiza-se nos municípios de Melgaço e Portel, limitada ao norte pelas coordenadas 01º 37’ S / 51º 19’ W e 01º 54’ S / 51º 58’ W e ao sul 02º 15’ S / 51º 15’ W e 02º 15’ S / 51º 56’ W.

In the state of Pará (Brazil), until the beginning of last decade little was known about the composition of the fern and lycophyte flora. The ferruginous mountains of Carajás are located in Southeastern Pará, mostly inserted in the Floresta Nacional de Carajás. The objective of this work is to present a complete and updated list of fern and lycophyte species occurring in all vegetation types from Carajás ferruginous mountains as a contribution to the knowledge of these plant groups from the Brazilian Amazon. The species list was based on specimens collected between 2007 and 2013. About 1068 specimens deposited in the BHCB Herbarium were studied. A total of 186 species of pteridophytes were recorded, 175 species of ferns distributed in 22 families and 68 genera, and 11 species of lycophytes distributed in three families and four genera. The fern and lycophyte flora of Serra dos Carajás region corresponds to 64% of the Pará state flora of these groups and 34% of the Brazilian Amazon fern and lycophyte flora. Seven taxa are presented as new records for Pará state: Asplenium abscissum, A. otites, A. praemorsum, Blechnum lanceola, Elaphoglossum minutum, Doryopteris collina, and Hemionitis tomentosa. Three species are endemic to Serra dos Carajás, Isoetes cangae, I. serracarajensis, and Selaginella stomatoloma.

-(Synopsis of the holoepiphyte and hemiepiphyte Orchidaceae of Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã, Pará State, Brazil). This study reports the floristic survey of holoepiphyte and hemiepiphyte Orchidaceae in Caxiuanã National Forest, located between municipalities of Melgaço and Portel, near the Marajó area, Pará State, Brazil. Four random excursions for collecting fertile material were taken between April 2009 and November 2010. The family is represented by 33 species and 24 genera in Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã. The most representative genera were Epidendrum, Scaphyglottis, Catasetum, Encyclia, and Polystachya; other genera were represented by only one species each.
