Flora of Espírito Santo: Simaroubaceae

Abstract We present the taxonomic treatment of Simaroubaceae species occurring in Espírito Santo state, Brazil. This study is the result of the combination of fieldwork and analysis of specimens deposited in herbaria that house relevant collections of the Espírito Santo. The family is represented in the state by six species belonging to three genera: Homalolepis (4 spp.), Picrasma (1 sp.) and Simarouba (1 sp.). All species are forest trees, recorded in submontane dense ombrophilous forest, tabuleiro forest and restinga forest. The treatment includes identification keys, detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations, photographs, and comments on taxonomy, distribution, habitat and phenology of each species.摘要 本研究针对巴西圣埃斯皮里图州（Espírito Santo）分布的苦木科（Simaroubaceae）物种开展分类学修订。本研究结合野外考察与馆藏标本分析完成，所分析标本均保存于收录有该州相关馆藏的标本馆中。该科在本州共有3属6种：异裂果属（Homalolepis）4种、苦木属（Picrasma）1种以及番打子属（Simarouba）1种。所有物种均为森林乔木，记录分布于亚山地致密常绿阔叶林、台地林以及海滨沙生林。本次分类修订包含各物种的分类检索表、详细形态描述、图鉴、照片，以及各物种的分类学、分布、生境与物候相关评述。
