A SYNOPSIS OF ALISMATACEAE FROM THE SEMI-ARID REGION OF NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL

The Alismataceae (excluded Limnocharitaceae) comprises twelve genera of herbaceous aquatic plants. Only two of its genera (Echinodorus and Sagittaria) are native to the Neotropics. A survey of the species of Alismataceae confirmed the occurrence of four taxa of Sagittaria and eleven of Echinodorus f...
