Panicoideae (Poaceae) from forest remnants at the Southern Bahia: taxonomic and ecological aspects

We present a floristic survey of Panicoideae (Poaceae) in remnants of Atlantic Forest in Southern Bahia State, Brazil, in the Michelin Ecological Reserve. Collections were made from 2007 to 2010, focusing on the borders and interior of the three major forest fragments (Vila 5, Pancada Grande and Pacangê). Twenty four species in 11 genera were found, being Ichnanthus P. Beauv. and Paspalum L. the most representative, with five and eight species, respectively. An identification key to genera and species is presented, as well as descriptions, illustrations and ecological data, increasing the knowledge on Poaceae from Brazilian forests.
