“…The significant presence of Syagrus romanzoffiana in the three cities can be attributed to its adaptability to the biomes prevalent in these regions, including the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado [52]. This species' fruit pulp and nut can be consumed by humans and also holds great value for various groups of animals, indicating its ecological importance in providing food resources [52,53]. In addition, native communities believe that this palm species is a sacred plant, attributed with cosmogonic and cosmological spiritual significance [53].…”

This paper presents two key data sets derived from the Pomar Urbano project. The first data set is a comprehensive catalog of edible fruit-bearing plant species, native or introduced to Brazil. The second data set, sourced from the iNaturalist platform, tracks the distribution and monitoring of these plants within urban landscapes across Brazil. The study includes data from the capitals of all 27 federative units of Brazil, focusing on the ten cities that contributed the most observations as of August 2023. The research emphasizes the significance of citizen science in urban biodiversity monitoring and its potential to contribute to various fields, including food and nutrition, creative industry, study of plant phenology, and machine learning applications. We expect the data sets presented in this paper to serve as resources for further studies in urban foraging, food security, cultural ecosystem services, and environmental sustainability.

“…Belonging to the family Arecaceae and the subfamily Arecoideae, the species of the genus Syagrus has great socioeconomic importance in tropical savanna flora. ese palm trees can grow in several areas, such as tropical, humid subtropical, semiarid, and cerrado areas, showing a variety of habitat with different climates [19][20][21], this reflects the fact that these plants are used by many communities as a nutritional source [22], in addition to being considered a therapeutic option due to its antibacterial [23], antiparasitic [24], antioxidant [25], hypoglycemic [26] activities, and other promising actions of this genus. us, this work is important and innovative because it is the first review that highlights the biological potential and pharmacological properties of palm trees from the genus Syagrus and their promising approaches to the development of new therapeutic alternatives.…”

Medicinal plants have been used for centuries by communities worldwide, as they have diverse biological properties and are effective against numerous diseases. The genus Syagrus stands out for its versatility and for so many activities presented by these palm trees, mainly due to its rich chemical and fatty acid compositions. The genus has antibacterial potential, has antibiofilm, antiparasitic, antioxidant, prebiotic, antiulcerogenic, anticholinesterase, and hypoglycemic activities, and can produce biodiesel, amid others. Among all species, Syagrus coronata and Syagrus romanzoffiana stand out, presenting the greatest number of activities and applications. The secondary metabolites obtained from these palm trees present high activity even in low concentrations and can be used against infections and chronic diseases. Furthermore, these plants have been used in some communities for years and have presented healing properties, especially in inflammatory processes. Therefore, the Syagrus genus proves to be promising, which shows a lot of therapeutic potential.
