Keywords:
Solanum, Rock outcrops, Caatinga, Northeast.Abstract
In this study we present a survey of the Solanaceae family from inselbergs in the semi-arid region of Bahia State. The plant collections and fi eld observations were carried out in the following municipalities: Feira de Santana, Iaçú, Milagres, Itatim, Santa Teresinha, and Itaberaba, situated between 12º 14’- 12º 52’S and 39º 03’- 40º 04’W, from April 2005 to March 2006. Solanaceae is represented by fi ve genera and fourteen species: Brunfelsia unifl ora (Pohl) D. Don, Capsicum parvifolium Sendtn., Capsicum sp., Cestrum obovatum Sendtn., Nicotiana glauca Graham, Schwenkia americana L., Solanum agrarium Sendtn., S. americanum Mill, S. depauperatum Dunal, S. gardneri Sendtn., S. megalonyx Sendtn., S. paniculatum L., S. stipulaceum Roem & Schult, and Solanum sp. The genus Solanum L is the most representative with eight species, corresponding to about 58 % of the total Solanaceae species, followed by Capsicum with two species (14%) and Brunfelsia, Cestrum, Nicotiana and Schwenkia with one specie each (7%).
