However, only Aiouea myristicoides, Aniba williamsii, Cassytha filiformis, Kubitzkia mezii, Mezilaurus itauba, Nectandra cuspidata and Ocotea puberula were recorded in the iron-ore outcrops, while all the other species ocurred in the forest. We present here descriptions, identification keys, comments and illustrations regarding the species studied.
