Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Bahia coastal forests (NT0103) (1108 words)
Bahia Bahia coastal forests have been given highest priority for biodiversity conservation because they harbor an extraordinary number of endemic species of vascular plants (Prance 1987), birds (Haffer 1987), primates (Mendes 1999), and butterflies (Brown Jr.1987).
Endemic species include three genera of legumes (Brodriguesia, Arapatiella, and Harleyodendron), four genera of bambusoid grasses (Atractantha, Anomochloa, Alvimia, and Sucrea), seven species of Inga, and the important piaçava palm, Atalea funifera (Thomas et al.
Recent plant surveys in two protected areas (Una and Serra Grande Biological Reserves) found that 41 to 44 percent of vascular plant species are endemic to Atlantic forest and that 26 to 28 percent are endemic to the ecoregion (Thomas et al.
