Abstract: | Convolvulaceae is a predominantly tropical family and comprises between 1600 and 1700 species. Brazil isan important center of endemism of the group, but its diversity is still poorly understood and underestimatedin the country. Therefore, the flora of Convolvulaceae from the Usina São José, presented here, increases theknowledge about the diversity of the family in the Northeast Brazil. Twelve species and five genera ofConvolvulaceae is reported in the region: Bonamia maripoides, Evolvulus nummularius, Ipomoea bahiensis,I. hederifolia, I. nil, I. philomega, I. quamoclit, I. tiliacea, Jacquemontia glaucescens, J. sphaerostigma,Merremia macrocalyx, and M. umbellata. The treatment includes identification key, descriptions, illustrations,and comments for the taxa. |
