          Abstract

          Abstract Belonging to Malpighiales, Humiriaceae has about 65 species in eight genera, distributed almost exclusively in the Neotropics, occurring from southern Brazil to Central America. In Brazil, 35 species have been recorded (ca. 54% of the family’s diversity), wherein the greatest diversity is found in the Amazon (27 spp.), Atlantic Forest (9 spp.) and Cerrado (6 spp.) domains. This work is part of the “Flora do Espírito Santo” project, which aims to contribute to the knowledge of the state’s floristic diversity. Field expeditions were carried out from January/2019 to March/2020. Humiriaceae, in the state of Espírito Santo, is represented by six species distributed in four genera: Humiria, Humiriastrum, Sacoglottis and Vantanea. Among the registered genera, Vantanea is the most diversified, with three species. In the dense rain forest, all Humiriaceae species recorded here were found, followed by pioneer formations of restingas, with four species and seasonal semideciduous forest, with one species. The main morphological characters that assist in the delimitation of Humiriaceae species in Espírito Santo, are androecium characteristics, such as length (homodynamous or heterodynamous), number of stamens and the number of their series, as well as anther morphology.

          Resumo Pertencente a Malpighiales, Humiriaceae possui cerca de 65 espécies em oito gêneros, distribuídas quase exclusivamente na região Neotropical, ocorrendo do sul do Brasil à América Central. No Brasil, foram registradas 35 espécies (ca. 54% da diversidade da família), sendo a maior diversidade encontrada nos domínios da Amazônia (27 spp.), Mata Atlântica (9 spp.) e Cerrado (6 spp.). Este trabalho faz parte do projeto “Flora do Espírito Santo”, que visa contribuir para o conhecimento da diversidade florística do estado. As expedições de campo foram realizadas de janeiro/2019 a março/2020. Humiriaceae, no estado do Espírito Santo, está representada por seis espécies distribuídas em quatro gêneros: Humiria, Humiriastrum, Sacoglottis e Vantanea. Dentre os gêneros registrados, Vantanea é o mais diversificado, com três espécies. Na Floresta Ombrófila Densa foram encontradas todas as espécies de Humiriaceae aqui registradas, seguidas de formações pioneiras de restingas, com quatro espécies, e floresta estacional semidecidual, com uma espécie. Os principais caracteres morfológicos que auxiliam na delimitação das espécies de Humiriaceae no Espírito Santo, são características do androceu, como comprimento (homodínamos e heterodínamos), número de estames e o número de suas séries, além da morfologia das anteras.

            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.
