Species of native flora of the remnants from Experimental Stations of Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios, Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil

The native vegetation of the state of São Paulo is mainly characterized by small isolated fragments, like the ones found in several Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios experimental stations. Based on exsiccates from the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas Herbarium collection, we elaborated a list of the vascular flora of these remnants in 21 experimental stations. Mata Atlântica remnants are predominant, but three experimental stations had also fragments of Cerrado, and only two had no species recorded in the collection. We found 2,457 samples belonging to 120 families, 493 genera, and 947 species. The most diverse families were Fabaceae, Asteraceae, and Rubiaceae. Two species are threatened of extinction. Taxa with medicinal, ornamental, and/or feeding potential were found, as well as species not reported for the state of São Paulo in the Flora of Brasil database. The results indicate the need of regularization of the legal and permanent conservation areas and the need to increase the mechanisms of protection of the remnants and their rich genetic inheritance.
