Abstract
Abstract This study presents a taxonomic survey of the species of Acanthaceae in the Cuiabá lowlands, an area encompassing several habitats, from rock outcrops in Chapada dos Guiamarães to the periodically flooded forest areas in the Pantanal. Herbarium collections were analyzed and 13 field expeditions were carried out to visit different phytophysiognomies and ecosystems. The family is represented by 31 species and 12 genera, the most diverse being Justicia (10 species) and Ruellia (eight species). Additionally, Dicliptera squarrosa, Dyschoriste schottiana, Ruellia blechum, R. jussieuoides, and R. trachyphylla are newly recorded in the state of Mato Grosso. The number of species is higher if compared with other taxonomic studies of Acanthaceae in Central-Western Brazil. Despite the area being overlooked by the botanical community, we expect our results will instigate further taxonomic studies in the area. This study provides an identification key, short descriptions, comments on taxonomy and distribution, and photographs.
巴西马托格罗索州cuiab低地的棘科植物:从Chapada dos guimar延伸到Pantanal的植被马赛克
摘要/ Abstract摘要:本文对cuiab低地的棘科植物进行了分类调查,从Chapada dos guiamares的岩石露头到Pantanal的周期性淹没森林,这些低地包括几个栖息地。对植物标本馆标本进行了分析,并进行了13次实地考察,考察了不同的植物地貌和生态系统。该科由31种12属代表,最多样化的是Justicia(10种)和Ruellia(8种)。此外,马托格罗索州还新记录了斑翅目、肖氏斑翅目、长叶斑翅目、长叶斑翅目和短叶斑翅目。与巴西中西部棘科的其他分类研究相比,物种数量较多。尽管该地区被植物学界所忽视,但我们希望我们的研究结果能够激发该地区进一步的分类研究。本研究提供了鉴定关键字、简短描述、分类和分布评论以及照片。
