ABSTRACT

A survey of the family Lamiaceae in the state of Pernambuco revealed the presence of 20 genera encompassing 46 species. The genera with the highest number of exsiccatae were Hyptis and Ocimum; others had little representative material, and some taxa were collected only once. Regarding the phytogeographical distribution in the state, 9.1% of the registrations of species occurred in the coastal zone, 54.5% in the forest zone and 36.3% in the caatinga zone.

Key words: Lamiaceae, floristic survey, check-list

INTRODUCTION

The family Lamiaceae includes approximately 220 genera (Hedge, 1992) and 3.500 to 4.000 species (Harley, 1988; Hedge, 1992). With wide distribution, it has cosmopolitan representatives (Salvia and Scutellaria), and is especially abundant in the Mediterranean region. It grows in several habitats and altitudes: from the Arctic regions to the Himalayas, southeast Asia to Hawaii, Australia, Africa, and the New World from north to south (Heywood, 1978). It is a typical savanna family, inhabiting warm areas around the world (Harley, 1988).

In northeastern Brazil, floristic and taxonomic information on the family Lamiaceae is very sparse, consisting mainly of records of new species. With exception of the contributions of Harley (1995, 1996) for the state of Bahia, little is known about the species occurring in the states of the northeast region. Specifically in Pernambuco, the family has not yet received a systematic treatment, with records sparsely distributed in a vast literature of mainly floristic surveys. Among others, the following species are reported for the state of Pernambuco: Hyptis fruticosa Salzm. (Andrade-Lima, 1960), H. lantanifolia Poit. (Andrade-Lima, 1966), H. suaveolens (L.) Poit., Leonotis nepetifolia R. Br. (Silva, 1985), Scutellaria agrestis St. Hil. (Epling and Toledo, 1943), Hyptis lappulacea Mart. ex Benth., H. pectinata (L.) Poit., Leucas martinicensis R.Br (Pereira, 1965), Marsypianthes chamaedrys (Vahl) Kuntze (Pereira and Pereira, 1973), and the genus Ocimum, which is receiving a series of treatments (Albuquerque and Andrade, 1998a,b; Albuquerque, 1998, 1999).

In this work a preliminary survey on the family Lamiaceae for Pernambuco state is presented. Data on geographic distribution of the recorded species is also provided.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The present research was based on the analysis of material collected in the state of Pernambuco, as only the material identified and/or confirmed by specialists of the family has been included. The examined exsiccatae were obtained from herbaria and listed with the respective abbreviation according to Index Herbariorum (Holmgreen et al., 1990): IPA (Herbarium "Professor Dárdano de Andrade Lima), of the Empresa Pernambucana de Pesquisa Agropecuária, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil; PEUFR (Herbarium "Professor Vasconcelos Sobrinho"), Departamento de Biologia of the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil; UFP (Herbarium "Professor Geraldo Mariz"), Departamento de Botânica, Centro de Ciências Biológicas of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil.

The data on physical environment, habitat, plant habit, vernacular names and other information, when available, were obtained from exsiccatae labels. The material examined was cited according to subfamily. Each genus was listed by species, with locality, collection date, name and number of collector and abbreviation of herbaria. The accession number of the herbarium identifies the specimens with no collector number. Cultivated or exotic species are marked with an asterisk.

A brief analysis of the geographical distribution of the species in the state of Pernambuco was carried out, excluding the cultivated species. The phytogeographic division of Pernambuco as proposed by Andrade-Lima (1960), was adopted. The data on general distribution in Brazil and in the world, were obtained according to available literature.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In Pernambuco the family has been represented by 46 species within 20 genera: Aeollanthus (1 sp), Eriope (2 spp), Hesperozygis (1 sp), Hypenia (1 sp), Hyptis (17 spp), Leonotis (1 sp), Leonurus (1 sp), Leucas (1 sp), Marsypianthes (1 sp), Mentha (2 spp), Ocimum (7 spp), Plectranthus (2 spp), Pogostemon (1 sp), Raphiodon (1 sp), Rosmarinus (1 sp), Salvia (2 spp), Satureja (1 sp), Scutellaria (1 sp), Solenostemon (1 sp) and Tetradenia (1 sp). About 39% of these are exotic and/or cultivated species. The species Leonotis nepetifolia (L.) R. Br., Leonurus japonicus Houtt and Leucas martinicensis L., are cosmopolitan, occurring as ruderals and as weeds in Brazilian territory.

The genus Hesperozygis was found in the southern states of Brazil and has been never reported for the Northeast. It was the result of only one collection at the Campus of the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco in 1979, and was identified by the specialist R.M. Harley, who stressed the particularity of its distribution. However, there are still too few collections for Pernambuco, with a number of taxa that were collected only once, such as Satureja sp., Scutellaria agrestis St. Hil. and Leonurus japonicus Houtt.

The tribe Ocimeae of the subfamily Nepetoideae was the best represented. The genera Ocimum and Hyptis were the most representative with respect to the number of species. Hyptidinae was represented by five genera: Hyptis, Hypenia, Eriope, Marsypianthes and Raphiodon (monotypical genus of eastern Brazil). In the study carried out by Harley (1996) the two largest genera in Bahia were Hyptis (51) and Eriope (17). Harley (1996) mentioned that the genus Eriope is typically Brazilian, particularly on rupestrian fields, having its center of diversity in the Chapada Diamantina, with secondary centers in Minas Gerais and Goiás. In Pernambuco this genus was represented by two wide distributed species: Eriope crassipes Benth. and E. cf. macrostachya Mart. ex Benth.

With respect to geographical distribution, 9.1% of species occurred in the coastal zone, 54.5 % in the forest zone and 36.3% in the caatinga zone. There was a higher number of collections for the forest zone. The genera with the widest distribution in Pernambuco were: Hypenia, Hyptis, Marsypianthes, Leonotis, Ocimum and Raphiodon. The genus Hyptis occurs from the coastal zone to the caatinga. The collections for the coastal zone also include many specimens of the genus Ocimum.
