Abstract

This work consists of a floristic assessment of the family Bromeliaceae in Serra das Aranhas, Minas Gérais, Brazil. Three subfamilies, 11 genera and 22 species were identified. The occurrence of Nidularium longiflorum was recorded for the first time in the state of Minas Gérais. Most of the 22 species are epiphytes. Two of the species, Quesnelia augusto-coburgii Wawra and Billbergia vittata Brong., are included in the list of endangered species of Minas Gérais. An analytical key is also presented for the identification of the species occurring in Serra das Aranhas. This work provides data to expand the knowledge on Bromeliaceae in the areas of the Atlantic Rainforest domain in Minas Gérais.
