Abstract

This study presents an annotated checklist of angiosperm species endemic to the State of Paraná, southern Brazil, including information on distribution, habitat, life form, record history in the wild, and a preliminary conservation status for each species. This list was based on biodiversity databases, taxonomic literature, herbarium specimens and fields surveys conducted between 2016 and 2022. The checklist includes 197 species from 107 genera and 41 families. The richest plant families were found to be Orchidaceae (36 species), Fabaceae (22), Asteraceae (17), and Amaryllidaceae (16). Furthermore, the majority of endemic species were distributed in Subtropical Highland Grasslands, Atlantic Rainforest, and Araucaria Forest, respectively. Based on criterion B of the IUCN, 90% of the endemic flora was classified as threatened (Critically Endangered or Endangered). The present study is a starting point to reduce the gaps in knowledge of the endemic flora of Paraná.
