Abstract

Fabaceae is the family with the greatest diversity in the flora of Brazil, standing out mainly for the distribution occurring in the most varied environments. Fabaceae presents varied habits from grass, vine, subshrub, shrub, tree and liana. Woody habits such as shrubs, trees and lianas are commonly present in Cercidoideae, Detarioideae and Dialiolideae.This work aimed to study species of Cercidoideae, Detarioideae and Dialioideae in a forest fragment in the Atlantic Forest in Buraquinho Forest, João Pessoa.Materials were analyzed, described and then made identification keys and photographic plates.The area had only four species, two Detarioideae Hymenaea rubriflora and Tamarindus indica, one Cercidioideae Schnella outimouta and one Dialiodeae Apuleia leiocarpa.The habits found were all woody, three of them trees and one liana.The species were found mainly inside the forest, except Tamarindus indica is exotic, and the other native species were also found at the edge of the forest. Apuleia leiocarpa has an important ecological function, as it is consumed by sloths. In this way, this work to have no knowledge of the flora of the Atlantic Forest portion, especially in the state of Paraíba, in view only of the area, state of floristic knowledge.
