Resumen
GIRALDO-CANAS, DIEGO y FIASCHI, PEDRO. The Marcgraviaceae (Ericales) of Brazil : The species of the Norantea Complex. Caldasia [online]. 2005, vol.27, n.2, pp.173-194. ISSN 0366-5232.
A taxonomic study of the Brazilian species of the Norantea Complex of the Neotropical family Marcgraviaceae is presented (Marcgraviastrum, Norantea, Sarcopera, and Schwartzia). Aspects related to the classification, nomenclature, and generic affinities are discussed. Marcgraviastrum is represented in Brazil by three species, two which are endemic; Norantea has one species; Sarcopera has three species; while the genus Schwartzia is represented in the Brazilian Flora by four species, which are endemic for this country. Keys to recognize the genera of Marcgraviaceae and for species of the Norantea Complex that inhabit Brazil are given, as well as descriptions of the species, synonymy, geographical distribution, and morphological and ecological observations. Marcgraviastrum pendulum, Sarcopera anomala, Sarcopera oxystylis, and Schwartzia weddelliana are excluded from the Brazilian Flora. On the other hand, a new species of Schwartzia is described and illustrated.
