The geographical distribution and morpho-genetic variation of wild and domesticated populations of a crop species are essential information for identifying a center of origin. The pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) is the only domesticated neotropical palm, whose starchy-oily fruits are subsistence products and whose heart-of-palm is an expanding agribusiness. The origin of pejibaye is unresolved, but probably will be found in the distribution of type 1 B. gasipaes var. chichagui in southwestern Amazonia. A new area of occurrence of this type is reported around São Felix do Xingu, Pará, Brazil, 52°41' W 6°34' S, about 600 km northeast of the eastern-most known population, in central Mato Grosso, Brazil. The plants of this population are slightly less robust... |

This study aimed to define the current status of ethnobotanical research in Brazil based on published scientific articles and to detect current knowledge gaps in Brazil's ethnobotany. A database, including articles published in national and international scientific journals from 1988 to 2013, was gathered for this purpose. This report discusses the growing number of publications in ethnobotanical research and the main techniques used in the discipline. To identify current knowledge gaps, his report emphasizes the main focus of the different studies, target regions, and communities targeted or involved in the original study. Most publications focused on the northeast and southeast Brazil, and the most frequently studied biomes were the Caatinga and Atlantic... |

Neste trabalho foram estudadas as sempre-vivas como sendo um produto natural de importância para decoração de interiores. Como sempre-vivas são considerados escapos e inflorescencias que conservam a aparência de estruturas vivas, mesmo depois de destacados das plantas. O presente trabalho objetivou estudar as atividades econômicas relacionadas com esse grupo de plantas, mostrando sua importância como geradora de renda e de emprego, nos arredores de Diamantina (Minas Gerais) e de divisas para o País, pois a maior parte da produção é exportada para os Estados Unidos e Europa. Através do levantamento de quantidades comercializadas, preços pagos aos coletores e preços de atacado das principais espécies comercializadas na região (18 de Eriocaulaceae, 10 de... |
