This work was carried out at the Floresta Nacional de Paraopeba - FLONA, in the municipality
of Paraopeba, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, located at 19º16'19"S and 44º24'06"W, to study the floristic composition
of the tree stratum of a forest formation (cerradão), and to evaluate the similarity with other floristic surveys
conducted in cerradões of Minas Gerais and São Paulo. There have been found 78 species belonging to
66 genera representing 31 families. The most representative families in relation to number of species were
Fabaceae-Leguminosae (22), Myrtaceae (10) and Vochysiaceae (3). Floristically the cerradões is closer to
the forest formations than to cerrado and formally they could be classified as a subtype of those forest formations,
because 83% of the species are accessory and just 17% peculiar.
