“…The specimens collected were herborized following the standard techniques of floristic-taxonomic studies (Mori et al 1985) and subsequently deposited in JPB and UFP herbaria. The specimens were identified by consulting the specialized literature (Pabst & Dungs 1975, 1977Siegerist 1986;Chase 1986;Salazar et al 1990;Hágsater et al 1993;Carnevali & Romero 1996;Pupulin 2007;Romero-González et al 2008;Hágsater et al 2008;Hágsater et al 2010;Arenas & Cribb 2010;Peraza-Flores 2012;Romero-González et al 2013;Azevedo et al 2014;Carvalho et al 2016;Royer et al 2017;Bastos et al 2018;Pessoa & Alves 2016a,b, 2018 and by comparisons with photographs or digital images of type specimens accessed using the online databases Tropicos (http://www.tropicos. org/), JSTOR Global Plants (https://plants.jstor.org/), Virtual Herbarium Reflora (http://reflora.jbrj.gov.br) and speciesLink (https://specieslink.net/) .…”

“…Distribution, ecology and conservation status: It is widely distributed in Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, and Paraguay (Carvalho et al 2016). In Brazil, it occurs in the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga and Cerrado, in the northeast, central-west and southeast regions (Carvalho et al 2016).…”

Lowland forests, also known as tabuleiro forests, are the predominant phytophysiognomy in the Atlantic Coastal Forest in northeastern Brazil. We inventoried the Orchidaceae present in the northern section of those forests, from the state of Rio Grande do Norte until the southern region of the state of Pernambuco. We examined specimens from seven regional herbaria and undertook field expeditions to four conservation units in the region. A total of 65 species belonging to 36 genera and to subfamilies Epidendroideae (44 species), Orchidoideae ( 16), and Vanilloideae (5) were identified. The most diverse genera are Epidendrum e Habenaria, with eight and seven species, respectively. Native species represented 96 % of the total observed, with 27 % being endemic to Brazil. Epiphytic (35) and terrestrial (27) species predominated; only three species are hemiepiphytic. We registered 14 new records of species for Rio Grande do Norte, two for Paraíba, and one for Pernambuco. Diagnoses of genera and species, as well as an identification key, data on geographic distribution, taxonomic and ecological comments, conservation status, and photos of the species are provided.

Background and Aims: Bahia is one of the Brazilian states with the greatest diversity of orchids. Species restricted to microhabitats or forming small populations, being subject to local suppression, have been reported for restingas of the state. The north coast of Bahia has recently been exposed to intense anthropic pressures, including disordered occupation of land and predatory tourism. In order to encourage the adoption of regional conservation strategies, we carried out a survey of the orchid flora in the Parque Natural Municipal da Restinga de Praia do Forte (PNMR Praia do Forte), a fragment of restinga on the north coast of the state. Methods: Field work was conducted monthly from September 2016 to December 2017, and in July 2020 and August 2022, by employing the walking survey method. We consulted collections of the herbaria ALCB, HRB, HUEFS, and RB in person, as well as digital images of type specimens deposited in European herbaria and the Environmental Information Reference Center database. Phenological and distribution data of the species in the phytophysiognomies of PNMR Praia do Forte were mostly obtained in the field. Key results: Orchidaceae is represented by 14 genera and 16 species in the PNMR Praia do Forte, most of which are native to the Neotropics (14 spp., including eight endemic to Brazil), mainly terrestrial (six spp.), occurring exclusively in restinga forest formations (eight spp.). Epistephium williamsii, Gomesa barbata, Oeceoclades maculata, Pachygenium parvum, Polystachya concreta and Prescottia leptostachya (restricted to Bahia state) form small populations (<50 individuals). Conclusions: The orchid flora of the PNMR Praia do Forte, especially the aforementioned species, requires the attention from managers, in order to implement possible management and conservation actions and prevent them from being suppressed locally. We suggest greater surveillance actions in the park and environmental education actions among local residents and tourists.

“…Epistephium lucidum Cogn. is synonymous with E. williamsii (Carvalho et al 2016), and so it is probably the most well-known species of the genus in Brazil. It is easily recognized at APA Abaeté by its reticulate-veined leaf blades and the epicalyx present at the base of the perianth and persistent in the capsules.…”

Orchidaceae in a fragment of restinga on the north coast of Bahia, Brazil

Área de Proteção Ambiental das Lagoas e Dunas do Abaeté (APA Abaeté) is an urban fragment of restinga in an environmentally protected area in the municipality of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The area is impacted by irregular disposal of solid waste, clandestine removal of sand from dunes, suppression and fragmentation of original vegetation cover and urban growth of neighborhoods. A recent floristic study revealed new records of orchid species for this conservation unit but highlighted strong threats to the orchid flora. In this context, a taxonomic study of Orchidaceae in APA Abaeté was undertaken with the aim of facilitating the recognition of species in the field and supporting the establishment of more effective local conservation actions for orchids, which should include the manual dispersion of seeds and the relocation of individuals. Orchidaceae is the sixth most represented family in APA Abaeté, with 15 genera and 19 species, including Encyclia dichroma and Koellensteinia florida, endemic species of the Atlantic Forest. The most relevant morphological characteristics for the identification of species in the area are: growth type; climbing habit; caulome thickness; shape and consistency of leaf blades; inflorescence type and position; and color and resupination of flowers.
