Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4

Abstract

The objective of this research was to present a taxonomic treatment of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae (Fabaceae) in a Cerrado fragment in East from Maranhão, in Northeast Brazil. The Cerrado area sampled belongs to the municipality of São João do Sóter/Maranhão, in the East region of the State, where monthly expeditions were carried out between September 2016 and February 2017, for the observation, collection and identification of botanical material. After collection the specimens were herborized and analyzed with the help of taxonomic keys and specialized literature for identification, and consultation with specialists in the family. In the research were cataloged 12 genera, distributed in 19 species, the genus Mimosa L. being the most representative. The work provides description, geographic distribution and phytogeographic domains of the species for Brazil and identification key for the taxa. In this way the research contributed with the addition of botanical information to the Subfamily Caesalpinioideae in the Northeastern region of Brazil and Maranhão, serving as subsidies to fill the gaps of biodiversity in the Fabaceae family.
