• Abstract:

  The present study aims to carry out a survey of Myrtaceae in remnants of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest in the Maringá region. For this purpose, there was a survey on the Species link website, a review of the material from the Herbarium of ``Universidade Estadual de Maringá`` (HUEM) and 2 field trips in forest fragments. Twenty-eight species were recorded, distributed in 8 genera (Callistemon, Campomanesia, Corymbia, Eugenia, Myrcia, Myrcianthes, Myrciaria, Plinia, Psidium and Syzygium), 7 of which are endemic to Brazil (Eugenia brasiliensis, Eugenia candolleana, Eugenia longipedunculata, Myrcia felisbertii, Myrciaria glazioviana, Myrciaria glomerata and Psidium cattleyanum). The month with the longest reproductive period is September, with 12 occurrences, presenting greater diversity of food for wild animals and pollinators. Eugenia is the genus with the highest diversity, with 10 species and Eugenia uniflora the most abundant in records, greater distribution, being recorded in almost all the remnants sampled, with longer reproductive period and with greater occurrence in the Brazilian vegetation types.
