Miscellaneous new species in the Brazilian Bromeliaceae
Leme,Elton M.C.; Fraga,Claudio Nicoletti de; Kollmann,Ludovic J.C.; Brown,Gregory K.; Till,Walter; Ribeiro,Otávio B.C.; Machado,Marlon C.Abstract From 1990 to 2006, 2,875 new angiosperm species were described in Brazil, including 280 newBromeliaceae species. This publication rate is considered to be a useful indicator of floristic richness andalso reveals the huge gaps in our knowledge of species that make up Brazilian biomes and the importanceof taxonomy as a basic tool to assess biodiversity and conservation. The goal of modern taxonomists is ...
