A floristic survey was carried out in the Grota Funda Municipal Park.
Atibaia Municipality. Silo Paulo State (45045 - 460 45'W and 23010 - 23015'S), a
mountainous region from 900 to 1400 meters above sea leveI. The climate is characterized
by two seasons a hot, moist period from October to March and a dry.
cold period from April to August, with frequent frosts. The sandy soil is low in fertility
and highly acid at the surface. The study was done from April 1987 to November
1988. A total of 415 species were collected and identified: 362 dicotyledons
belonging to 84 farnilies and 224 genera, and 53 monocotyledons beloging to 15
farnilies and 43 genera. Species richness in Atibaia can be attributed to environmental
diversity, edaphic variation, and slight disturbance of the vegetation. A comparison
with other floristic surveys in mountain forests was made and a list of the mostl
common species of this kind of forest is presented.
