Gnaphalieae (Asteraceae): diversity and distribution in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As an area of great diversity and suffering from many threats, the Brazilian Mata Atlântica and its floristic zones, such as Restingas, Rock Outcrops and Grasslands, call for attention and recurrent studies on plant diversity as a means of helping conservation efforts. In this context, acquiring, curating and using herbaria data is crucial to filling gaps in plant distribution and biogeography, as well as confirming or denying species incidence in the area of interest. This study provides a solid dataset with information regarding diversity and distribution of species from the tribe Gnaphalieae (Asteraceae) in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with significant updates since the publication of Flora Fluminensis by Vellozo almost 200 years ago, the Rio de
