ABSTRACT
The Parque Nacional de Boa Nova protects an important transition area between Caatinga and Atlantic Rainforest, and little is known about its flora. Thus, the present study aimed to survey the Orchidaceae in the Parque Nacional de Boa Nova. The survey was performed through monthly field trips. 42 species were found, distributed in 31 genera, including two new records the northeastern Brazil: Prosthechea allemanoides and Sarcoglottis ventricosa, and two new records to the State of Bahia: Malaxis parthonii and Trichosalpinx montana. Identification keys to genera and species, morphological and ecological observations are presented, along with data about geographical distribution of the species, contributing, with new information on the floristic composition of the Park.
