Abstract

This study is part of the Project “Flora of the Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais, Brazil”. Bombacoideae is one of nine subfamilies of Malvaceae sensu lato, characterized by a nectariferous tissue situated inside on the base of the calyx, on petals or on the androgynophore. Trees with compound leaves characterize the subfamily. Three genera (Ceiba, Eriotheca and Pseudobombax) and eight species (C. pubiflora, C. speciosa, E. candolleana, E. macrophylla, E. pubescens, P. campestre, P. longiflorum and P. majus) were found in the studied area. They differ by floral characters such as number of free or united stamens in the staminal tube and by articulate or inarticulate leaflets. Eriotheca and Pseudobombax were the most representatives. Keys to identify genera and species, detailed descriptions, illustrations, taxonomic comments and a list of examined specimens are provided.
