Abstract

LEON, Blanca. Brunelliaceae endemic of Peru . Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.2, pp.188-189. ISSN 1727-9933.

The Brunelliaceae are represented in Peru by 12 species in the genus Brunellia (Brako & Zarucchi, 1993), all of them trees. Endemic Brunelliaceae are found in the Very Humid Montane Forests region, between 1500 and 3000 m elevation. Here we recognize seven endemic species, and we applied IUCN categories and criteria to three of them. Two endemic species have been recorded to date from the Peruvian parks system.

Keywords : Brunelliaceae; Brunellia; Peru; endemism; endemic plants.
