Flora of Espírito Santo: Droseraceae

Abstract

We present a taxonomic treatment of the species of Droseraceae in Espírito Santo state, Brazil. Droseraceae is represented in the state by two species: Drosera intermedia, found in marshlands in the restingas (pioneer formations), and Drosera latifolia, which occurs in the campos de altitude (ecological refuges) and on granitic inselbergs in areas of ombrophilous forest in the mountainous region of Espírito Santo. We provide an identification key, morphological descriptions, and commentaries on taxonomy, ecology, conservation, and geographical distribution.

Introduction

Droseraceae (non-core Caryophyllales, Eudicots) is a family of carnivorous herbs composed of three genera and around 250 species (Fleischmann et al. 2018). Dionaea and Aldrovanda are monotypic and do not occur naturally in Brazil but are cultivated in the country by enthusiasts. On the other hand, Drosera is a cosmopolitan genus that contributes most species to the family, with centers of diversity in Australia, Brazil, and South Africa. Brazil, in particular, is home to 31 species, one nothospecies, and two varieties, of which 19 species are endemic to the country (Gonella 2020; Flora do Brasil 2020).

The genus is characteristic of open formations and is often associated with quartzitic and oligotrophic soils that are, at least, seasonally wet (Juniper et al. 1989; Fleischmann et al. 2018). Drosera is a characteristic element of the endemic flora of the Brazilian montane grasslands called campos rupestres (Colli-Silva et al. 2019) and is usually absent from forest formations, except for a few species that can be found occurring in riverine forests (Gonella 2020).

The state of Espírito Santo is entirely located within the Atlantic Forest Domain, with an original cover of ombrophilous and seasonal semideciduous forests, in addition to pioneer formations such as vegetation in the coastal plains (restingas) and ecological refuges for higher-altitude flora in the montane grasslands of Serra do Caparaó (Garbin et al. 2017). Despite having some of the greatest floristic diversity of any Brazilian state (Dutra et al. 2015; BFG 2018), only 12.6% of its original vegetation cover remained (Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica & INPE 2019), highlighting the relevance and urgency of floristic inventories, taxonomic treatments, and conservation efforts.

This study is part of the Flora of Espírito Santo Project and aims at presenting a taxonomic treatment for the Droseraceae occurring in the state and to provide an identification key and descriptions, along with commentaries on taxonomy, ecology, conservation, and geographical distribution.

Material and Methods

Descriptions and phenological data were based on specimens studied in the field and herbarium specimens, complemented by information in the literature. Specimens held at the herbaria HB, MBML, MO, NY, R, RB, US, and VIES were studied in person, while one specimen from the GH herbarium was analyzed at the institution’s virtual herbarium, available at <https://kiki.huh.harvard.edu/databases/specimen_index.html> (acronyms according to Thiers, continuously updated). The morphological terminology used in the species descriptions follows Gonella et al. (2014, 2015), Rivadavia et al. (2014), and Fleischmann et al. (2018).

Following a recent reassessment of the Red List conservation status of the species in Espírito Santo (Fraga et al. 2019), the Droseraceae species discussed in this paper had their regional conservation status newly assessed based on new data on their geographical distribution in the state. The assessment follows the IUCN (2012a) categories and criteria, including the IUCN (2012b) guidelines for regional assessments. We used the conservation assessment tool GeoCAT (available at <http://geocat.kew.org/>) to calculate the extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) as described in Bachman et al. (2011) using the standard IUCN cell size of 4 km² for the AOO estimation.

Results and Discussion

In Espírito Santo, Droseraceae are represented only by two species of the genus Drosera. Drosera intermedia Hayne in Dreves & Hayne (1798: 18) occurs in wet areas of the restingas (Fig. 1). In contrast, D. latifolia (Eichler 1872: 395) Gonella & Rivadavia in Gonella et al. (2014: 20) is a rupicolous species found in montane grasslands and on granitic rock outcrops (inselbergs; Fig. 1).

Three Drosera species have been previously reported for Espírito Santo. Valadares et al. (2020) recorded D. intermedia in an area of marshland in the restinga. Silva & Giulietti (1997) and Correa & Silva (2005) reported D. villosa A.Saint-Hilaire (1824: 2607), though these records were reclassified as D. latifolia by Gonella et al. (2014). A record of D. montana A.Saint-Hilaire (1824: 260) was listed by Dutra et al. (2015) based on the voucher Ynês Mexia 40251 (GH, MO), but that is also D. latifolia.

Drosera montana is recorded from the Minas Gerais side of the Serra do Caparaó (Rivadavia et al. 2014; Moreira et al. 2020). However, no specimens have been found on the Espírito Santo side thus far.

Droseraceae Salisb.

Annual or perennial carnivorous herbs. Stem inconspicuous or elongated. Leaves simple, stipules present or absent, vascularized glandular emergences present on the adaxial lamina surface, or lamina modified into a bilobed snap trap with sensitive trichomes over the adaxial surface. Inflorescence cymose, multi-flowered (rarely uniflorous). Flowers 5-merous (rarely 4-merous), actinomorphic; stamens 5(–many), anthers longitudinally dehiscent; ovary superior, 3–5-carpellar; styles 1–5 (usually 3), usually bifurcated at the base (rarely entire); ovary with parietal placentation (rarely basal), pluriovulated. Fruit a loculicidal capsule; seeds numerous.

Drosera L. (description based solely on the species occurring in Espírito Santo).

Terrestrial or rupicolous herbs. Leaves rosetted or spirally arranged, stipulate, petiolate, red to green in color, with sessile glands; stipules intrapetiolar, membranaceous, with apex laciniate; petiole linear, glabrous or eglandular-pilose at least abaxially; lamina oblong, lanceolate or spatulate, with vascularized glandular emergences (tentacles) on the adaxial surface, abaxial surface glabrous or eglandular-pilose. Inflorescence a scorpioid cyme, multiflorous (rarely uniflorous), 1–few per plant, with sessile glands; scape glabrous or eglandular and glandular-pilose. Flowers ephemeral, anthesis lasting for a few hours; sepals fused at the base, glabrous or glandular-pilose; petals white or pink; stamens 5; ovary 1-locular; styles bifurcated at the base. Petals, sepals and stamens persistent in fruit. Seeds with papillose or reticulate testa.

Drosera is the largest genus in the family, comprising about 250 species distributed worldwide and concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere. The main center of diversity of the genus is in the southwest of Western Australia, followed by northern Australia, the Cape Province of South Africa, and the mountains of east-central Brazil (Fleischmann et al. 2018). The genus is immediately identified by the presence of glandular emergences (tentacles) over the adaxial leaf lamina surface (Figs. 2-4). In Espírito Santo, Drosera is represented by two species, which are described below.

Drosera intermedia has a wide distribution, occurring in central and western Europe, Asia Minor, East Africa, and North, Central, and South America, including Brazil (Fleischmann & Gonella 2020; Gonella 2020). The species was recently recorded in Espírito Santo for the first time (Valadares et al. 2020), expanding its known distribution in Brazil, where it has also been recorded in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Amapá, and Roraima (Gonella 2020). In Espírito Santo, the species occurs in the restingas (Fig. 1), in areas of herbaceous marshland. It has been found in the protected areas of the Parque Estadual Paulo César Vinha (PEPCV) and the Parque Estadual de Itaúnas. In the wet areas of the PEPCV, which are a structurally dynamic environment, D. intermedia is always found associated with flat and stabilized sedimentary zones (humid fields), protected from natural and dynamic drainage channels that constantly modify the structure of the vegetation (Valadares et al. 2020). It was collected in flower in August and September and with fruits in August.

The species is characterized by glabrous leaves (only presenting sessile glands; Fig. 3), spatulate (Figs. 2b; 3b), with a petiole narrower and at least three times longer than the lamina (Figs. 2b; 3a), stipules fimbriate from the base, inflorescence and sepals glabrous, white petals (Fig. 2c), and ovoid seeds with a papillose testa.

Drosera intermedia was not assessed for the Espírito Santo Red List (Fraga et al. 2019) as no records had been identified in the state at the time of its elaboration. While the species is globally classified as Least Concern (Cross et al. 2020), its occurrence in the state is restricted to an AOO of 16 km² (criterion B2; IUCN 2012a). In addition, it is limited to fewer than five known locations (sub-criterion B2a), and its habitat is in a state of continuous decline (sub-criterion B2biii) since the state’s coast is considered to be under ​​high anthropic pressure due to pollution, fires, and urban expansion over the restingas (Maciel 1990; MMA 2002; Fraga et al. 2019). Therefore, we assess the species as Endangered (EN) in Espírito Santo.

Drosera latifolia is endemic to Brazil, occurring in the mountain ranges of Serra do Mar, Serra da Mantiqueira, and the Espinhaço Range in the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and Espírito Santo (Gonella et al. 2014). In Espírito Santo, the species is rupicolous (Fig. 2e), occurring in areas of ecological refuges and ombrophilous forests (Fig. 1). It is found on the summits of the state’s larger granitic inselbergs, which are considered to be a transition between the sugar loaf inselbergs and campos de altitude (montane grasslands) by de Paula et al. (2020), such as in the Parque Estadual da Pedra Azul, Parque Estadual do Forno Grande, and Alto Misterioso, and the campos de altitude of the Parque Nacional do Caparaó. According to Gonella et al. (2014), the individuals collected at Caparaó represent the smallest sized morphotype of D. latifolia, as well as the one that occurs at the highest elevation (up to 2,550 m). The remaining populations in the state represent the typical morphotype described by Gonella et al. (2014). The species was previously recorded in the floristic inventory of Alto Misterioso (Esgario et al. 2009) and Parque Nacional do Caparaó (Moreira et al. 2020) as D. villosa. Drosera latifolia was recorded with flowers in January, March, and November and with fruits in May.

The species is characterized by its lanceolate to oblong leaves (Figs. 2f; 4), a petiole shorter than or equaling the lamina, eglandular trichomes present on the abaxial leaf surface and eventually on the adaxial petiole surface, glandular-pilose inflorescence and sepals, pink petals, and fusiform seeds with reticulate testa.

Drosera latifolia is listed as Data Deficient in the Espírito Santo Red List (Fraga et al. 2019) and globally assessed as Least Concern (Cross et al. 2020). The new information on its distribution in the state presented here allows its regional assessment to be updated to Near Threatened (NT) in the state of Espírito Santo. While the species has an AOO of 16 km² (criterion B2) and a naturally fragmented distribution due to its occurrence in mountaintops, with fewer than five locations (sub-criterion B2a), no continuing decline has been observed to affect the subpopulations (sub-criterion B2b). Three of the four known locations in the state are found within protected areas, except for the Alto Misterioso, a priority conservation area (Esgario et al. 2009).
