“…O gênero Byrsonima Rich. ex Kunth é um dos maiores e mais taxonomicamente complexos gêneros da família Malpighiaceae, apresentando cerca de 100 espécies arbóreas e arbustivas no Brasil (Flora e Funga do Brasil, 2022; Soares et al, 2021). Este gênero é mais comum nos Cerrados, mas pode ser encontrado na Caatinga e Mata Atlântica (Flora e Funga do Brasil, 2022; Souza & Lorenzi, 2019).…”

No ensino, para possibilitar um aprendizado significativo, é necessário utilizar metodologias variadas onde o aluno consiga ser atuante em seu próprio aprendizado. Uma das metodologias de ensino que permitem essa maior autonomia dos estudantes são as aulas de campo. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi levantar as espécies mais relevantes de cada ambiente visitado durante uma aula de campo da disciplina de Morfologia e Anatomia de Espermatófitas do Curso de Ciências Biológicas (CCB), inserido no Centro de Ciências da Saúde (CCS) da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE). As espécies foram fotografadas e, em seguida, as fotos foram selecionadas e tratadas com o Adobe Photoshop CS6. Os espécimes foram identificados através de literaturas especializadas, consultas a especialistas e sítios de dados online. Registraram-se 57 espécies pertencentes a 50 gêneros e 30 famílias botânicas, onde se observou que a família mais representada foi a Fabaceae (nove espécies), somando aproximadamente 15,8% da flora levantada, e o gênero mais representativo foi Byrsonima sp. (quatro espécies). Constatou-se que a flora prevalece, em geral, de origem nativa (55 espécies) sendo a maioria endêmica. Quanto à forma de vida dos vegetais, observou-se que 43,8% (25 espécies) representam árvores, em geral, das famílias Fabaceae, Malpighiaceae e Myrtaceae. Além disso, os tipos de vegetação predominantes foram Caatinga, Mata Atlântica e Restinga.Palavras-chave: Biomas, diversidade vegetal, flora, inventário. Floristic composition of different phytophysiognomies of Ceará and Piauí A B S T R A C TIs known that to enable meaningful learning it is necessary to use varied teaching methodologies where the student can be active in their own learning. One of the teaching methodologies that allow this greater autonomy of the students is the field classes/trips. Thus, the objective of this research was to survey the most relevant species of each environment visited during a field class of the course of Morphology and Anatomy of Spermatophytes of the Biological Sciences undergraduate program of the State University of Ceará. The species were photographed and then the photos were selected and treated with Adobe Photoshop CS6. Specimens were identified through specialized literature, consultations with botanists and online data sites. 57 species were inventoried, belonging to 50 genera and 30 botanical families were recorded, and was observed that the most represented family was Fabaceae (nine species), accounting for approximately 15.8% of the flora surveyed, and the most representative genus was Byrsonima sp. (four species). It was found that the remaining flora has native origin (55 species), the majority being endemic. Regarding the way of life of the plants, it was observed that 43.8% (25 species) represent trees, in general, from the Fabaceae, Malpighiaceae and Myrtaceae families. In addition, the predominant vegetation types were Caatinga, Atlantic Forest and Restinga.Keywords: Biomes, flora, inventory, vegetable diversity.

“…crassifolia has different common names depending on the region where it is found, and there may be confusion in identifying the biological species. This situation is evidenced in some reports; for example, De Carvalho Soares et al (2021) mentioned that although there are monographs of the Malpighiaceae family members, they do not provide taxonomic tools applicable on a regional scale, which makes it challenging to recognise the diversity of species that belong to this genus.…”

Byrsonima crassifolia L. Kunth is a plant native to the Americas that grows in tropical and subtropical areas. Fresh B. crassifolia fruits are a good source of ascorbic acid and carotenoids and contain volatile compounds such as butyric and caproic acids. Although B. crassifolia is commonly exploited from wild natural ecosystems, it exhibits the potential to become a crop plant. When optimal agronomic management systems support propagation by seed, fruits with more homogeneous characteristics can be produced compared to those obtained from wild or backyard plants. B. crassifolia fruits can be found in local markets in Central and South America. The pulp, peel, and other B. crassifolia fruit components can be processed to make traditional and innovative food products, namely candies, cookies, cakes, candied fruits, ice creams, sorbets, jellies, juices, liqueurs, jams, nectars, pickles, and fruit drinks as an alternative to avoid the waste of overripe fruits. Additionally, the woody fraction of the B. crassifolia tree is used as a source of firewood, as shade, and for constructing living fences. These uses also allow the maximum use of biomass by establishing support for cultivation with the circular economy and strengthening food security. Therefore, this review aims to provide insights into the generation and dissemination of knowledge supporting the development of strategies in the areas of agronomy, postharvest management, and technological processing of B. crassifolia to promote its sustainable use and exploitation.
