Poaceae in a montane forest in the Southeastern Bahia, Brazil: Bambusoideae and Pharoideae

ABSTRACT

This study is a survey of Bambusoideae and Pharoideae (Poaceae) in a remnant of montane forest (RPPN Serra Bonita), in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, between Camacan and Pau Brasil, southeastern coast of Bahia State. Bambusoideae is represented in the area by six genera and nine species, and Pharoideae only for Pharus lappulaceus Aubl. In Bambusoideae, Chusquea Kunth was the largest genus (four spp.), whereas the remaining genera are represented by a single species each. Only two materials were not satisfactorily identified, because they didn't fit with any description of known species in theirs genera (Chusquea sp. and Diandrolyra sp.). Identification key for subfamilies, genera and species, besides descriptions, illustrations and commentaries are provided.

Key words:
grasses; Pharoideae; Bambusoideae; montane forest; Bahia
