Abstract

This study presents a taxonomic treatment of the aquatic and palustris species of Cyperaceae occurring in the Ferreira Penna Scientific Station (ECFPn), inserted in the Caxiuanã National Forest, Pará, Amazon, Brazil. The collections of MG, HBRA, and IAN herbaria were analyzed, as well as the INPA and RB (online) and specimens collected in two expeditions to ECFPn. A total of 13 genera and 26 species of aquatic and palustris Cyperaceae were found in the ECFPn: Eleocharis (5 species), Cyperus (4), Rhynchospora (3), Scleria (3), Calyptrocarya (2), Hypolytrum (2), Becquerelia (1), Bulbostylis (1), Diplacrum (1), Diplasia (1), Fimbristylis (1), Fuirena (1), and Lagenocarpus (1). A taxonomic key, diagnostic characters, geographical distribution, and illustrations of the species are provided.
