Herbaria and their components (exsiccates, xylaria, fruit collections, spirit collections and samples preserved in silica gel) play a central role in biological research, providing the basis for studies way beyond Taxonomy, since several areas of science demand high quality data that may be obtained from biological collections. Access to the massive amount of records from herbaria represe…
Euphorbiaceae sensu stricto. and Phyllanthaceae are the most diverse groups among the Euphorbiaceae sensu lato and are important representatives of the Brazilian flora, with Euphorbiaceae s.s. among the families with the greatest species richness in all phytogeographic domains of the country, with an emphasis on Croton, which is especially diverse in the Caatinga. The greatest diversity o…
The Plan of Research Development presented by the Institute of Botany (PDIP-IBt) aims, through advanced technical-scientific studies, to evaluate the impact of anthropic actions and climate changes on urban and peri-urban forests, in order to propose and/or validate predictive models for the biodiversity conservation and restoration of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems of the State of Sã…
Euphorbia sect. Brasilienses V.W. Steinm. & Dorsey is an exclusively Brazilian group, which include Euphorbia attastoma Rizzini, Euphorbia holochlorina Rizzini, Euphorbia phosphorea Mart. and Euphorbia sipolisii N.E. Br. Although their cactiform appearance, species within this section do not bear spines, are practically aphyllous once their rudimentary leaves are early deciduous, and thei…

Climatic changes represent important threats for the biodiversity. This is especially aggravated in great urban centers, which concentrate a high population. As results, threats like housing bubble, inadequate or violated laws, illegal extraction of forest resources, poor management of urban waste and several forms of pollution, and in this context is the Metropolitan region of São Paulo.…
Euphorbiaceae is considered a great taxonomical challenge because of its high number of species, extraordinary morphological diversity and wide geographical distribution. With 6300 species in 246 genera, is one of the biggest family of angiosperms and the biggest of Malpighiales, in which it is currently circunscribed. In Brazil, it is specially represented by tribe Crotoneae, mainly by t…
Euphorbiaceae is one of the largest families within Angiosperms, with about 6300 species in more than 250 genera, an extraordinary morphological diversity and wide geographical distribution. Crotoneae, one of the largest tribes within the family, has undergone significant changes in its delimitation after the recent phylogenetic hypothesis, and it now comprehends, besides the giant Croton…
