          Abstract

          Abstract The importance of continuously conducting botanical inventories has been questioned in recent decades, generating a lack of investment and interest in this area. However, several applied studies are only possible after obtaining the primary data from such surveys. Despite having the greatest richness of plants known in Brazil, several areas with knowledge gaps remain in Minas Gerais (MG) state. This is the case for the Serra da Mantiqueira, an important area for biodiversity conservation in the country. In this scenario, the phytophysiognomy of Seasonal Semi-deciduous Forest (SSF) deserves attention, as it is broadly distributed and has great relevance in the state, although subsampled. Therefore, this study aimed to present records of species for the flora of MG and discuss the need for floristic surveys in Brazil. These species were recorded in three of 10 studied remnants along expeditions performed between the years of 2012 and 2019 as part of a wide study performed in SSF remnants in the Serra da Mantiqueira which have a deficit of floristic data. Three species are recorded for the first time in MG, one species was rediscovered after more than two centuries from the last collection (which represents its nomenclatural type), in addition to nine other species which must be considered rare in the state. This study contributed to filling gaps in knowledge on Brazilian flora and also demonstrated the relevance of continuing new collections, mainly in specific subsampled areas in the interior of the country such as in SSF remnants.

          Resumo A importância da realização de inventários botânicos, de forma contínua, vem sendo questionada nas últimas décadas, gerando falta de investimento e desinteresse de pesquisadores por esta área. No entanto, vale ressaltar que os demais estudos aplicados à conservação são possíveis apenas com a disponibilidade de dados primários obtidos nestas pesquisas. Embora Minas Gerais (MG) apresente a maior riqueza de espécies cientificamente conhecidas no Brasil, ainda possui várias lacunas de conhecimento, como é o caso da Serra da Mantiqueira (SM), uma importante área para a conservação da biodiversidade no país. Neste cenário, a fitofisionomia Floresta Estacional Semidecidual (FES) merece destaque, por possuir ampla extensão e importância no estado, porém permanecer subamostrada. O estudo teve como objetivos apresentar importantes registros de espécies para a flora de MG e discutir sobre a necessidade de inventários florísticos no Brasil. Os registros foram feitos em três de 10 áreas estudadas, durante coletas realizadas entre os anos de 2012 e 2019, e são parte de um amplo estudo que está sendo realizado em fragmentos de FES, deficitários de dados florísticos, localizados na SM. Foram registradas três espécies pela primeira vez em MG, uma espécie foi redescoberta após mais de dois séculos após sua última coleta, além de nove espécies consideradas raras no estado. O presente estudo contribuiu com o preenchimento de lacunas de conhecimento sobre a flora do Brasil e também demonstrou a importância da realização de novas coletas, principalmente em áreas específicas e subamostradas no interior do país, como as FES.

          Brazilian Flora 2020: Innovation and collaboration to meet Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC)

          Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was established by the Conference of Parties in 2002 to decrease the loss of plant diversity, reduce poverty and contribute to sustainable development. To achieve this overarching goal, the GSPC has established a series of targets, one of which is to ensure that plant diversity is well understood, so that it can be effectively conserved and used in a sustainable manner. Brazil hosts more than 46,000 species of plants, algae and fungi, representing one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth, and playing a key role in the GSPC. To meet the GSPC goals of Target 1 and facilitate access to plant diversity, Brazil committed to preparing the List of Species of the Brazilian Flora (2008-2015) and the Brazilian Flora 2020 (2016-present). Managing all the information associated with such great biodiversity has proven to be an extremely challenging task. Here, we synthesize the history of these projects, focusing on the multidisciplinary and collaborative approach adopted to develop and manage the inclusion of all the knowledge generated though digital information systems. We further describe the methods used, challenges faced, and strategies adopted, as well as summarize advances to date and prospects for completing the Brazilian flora in 2020.
