NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
Subtropical humid to sub-humid forests of southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. Dense cover, multi-strata, mostly evergreen with a limited admixture of deciduous trees among the canopy and emergent species. Most of the distribution occurs on a basaltic plateau which abuts to the lower floodplains of the Parana and Uruguay rivers; a few hills or sierras are present which are part of the Serra Geral ridge in Brazil. Their strongest floristic affinity is with the Brazilian Atlantic forests, but it is a distinct assemblage of which some characteristic tree species are <i>Apuleia leiocarpa, Cabralea canjerana, Cedrela fissilis, Aspidosperma polyneuron, Tabebuia heptaphylla, Tabebuia impetiginosa, Anadenanthera colubrina, Astronium fraxinifolium, Syagrus romanzoffiana, Euterpe edulis, Annona amambayensis, Cariniana estrellensis, Machaerium stipitatum, Balfourodendron riedelianum, Parapiptadenia rigida, Peltophorum dubium, Patagonula americana, Pterogyne nitens, Cordia trichotoma, Enterolobium contortisiliquum, Myrocarpus frondosus, Matayba elaeagnoides, Allophylus edulis, Garcinia brasiliensis, Myrciaria rivularis, Alsophila cuspidata, Sorocea bonplandii</i>, among many others.
