Abstract
The genus Campomanesia Ruiz & Pav. can be recognized by the ovary 4-18-locular, with several ovules per locule, and a glandular locular wall in the mature fruits, which serves as a false seed coat. Usually all or all but one ovule abort in each locule. The inflorescence is uniflorous, dichasium or raceme, and the calyx can be opened or completely closed in the flower bud. The genus has 11 species in the state of Paraná (C. adamantium, C. aurea, C. eugenioides, C. guaviroba, C. guazumifolia, C. neriiflora, C. pubescens, C. reitziana, C. schlechtendaliana, C. sessiliflora, C. xanthocarpa), distributed in all vegetation types. Campomanesia neriiflora had your fruits described for the first time. In this work we present an identification key, descriptions, illustrations, data on geographic distribution and collection lists for the species of Campomanesia from Paraná.
