Abstract

This study provides a taxonomic treatment of the Podostemaceae family in southern Brazil. Podostemaceae is the largest family of strictly aquatic angiosperms. The center of family richness is the equatorial region of South America. Taxonomic studies are still scarce in Brazil. For southern Brazil there are six genera and 10 species recognized. Dichotomous key and illustrations are presented for species identification.

Key words:
taxonomy; Malpighiales; aquatic macrophytes; river-weeds

Resumo

O presente estudo apresenta um tratamento taxonômico para as Podostemaceae da Região Sul do Brasil. Podostemaceae é a maior família de angiospermas estritamente aquáticas com centro de riqueza na região equatorial da América do Sul. Os estudos taxonômicos ainda são escassos para o Brasil. Para a Região Sul do Brasil são reconhecidos seis gêneros e 10 espécies. São apresentadas chaves dicotômicas e ilustrações para a identificação das espécies.

Palavras-chave:
taxonomia; Malpighiales; macrófitas aquáticas; plantas de rio
