LEON, Blanca. Myristicaceae endemic of Peru . Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.2, pp.457-457. ISSN 1727-9933.

The Myristicaceae are represented in Peru by five genera and 40 species (Brako & Zarucchi, 1993; Ulloa Ulloa et al., 2004), all trees. Here we recognize two endemic species in the same number of genera. These endemics grow in Humid Lowland Amazonian Forests and Humid Montane Forests regions, between 100 and 2100 m elevation. No endemic species of Myristicaceae have been recorded within Peru's protected areas system.

Palavras-chave : Myristicaceae; Peru; endemism; endemic plants.
