Abstract

A floristic survey of trees and shrubs was carried out in the remnants of an Araucaria forest in the 2004-2009 periods, located in the “Bosque da Fazendinha”, municipality of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, in order to describe the floristic composition and distribution in the study area. A total of 147 species, belonging to 48 families of angiosperms and gymnosperms, were found. Within the Angiosperm group, the most diverse families were Myrtaceae (18), followed by Fabaceae (12), Lauraceae (10) and Asteraceae (9). Gymnosperms were represented by only two families and Araucariaceae and Podocarpaceae byh only one species each. A highly significant diversity in species was observed, even though the formation is located in an urban area and therefore subject to different levels of stress.
