Abstract

The present study aimed inventory species of Orchidaceae family in forest fragments in the municipality of Pérola D'Oeste, PR. They were made 17 field trips in 15 fragments of semideciduous forest, totaling 87.1 ha. To make the collection of botanical material trails were used existing roads, paths inside the forest and edge, emphasizing the higher moisture areas such as small rivers and greater concentration of local emergent trees. Were observed and collected specimens subsequently made herborization, an identification key and species diagnosis were performed. Nine species of Orchidaceae were found belonging to nine genera. The species found were: Capanemia superflua, Catasetum sp, Coppensia paranaensis, Corymborkis flava, Cyclopogon congestus, Epidendrum paniculatum, Lophiaris pumila, Malaxis parthonii and Oeceoclades maculata. Although the fragments are small, there are differences of Orchidaceae species in the municipality of Pérola D'Oeste.
