Abstract

A floristic inventory was carried out in the corregimiento of Manungará, Tadó, Chocó, Colombia, during 2007, using the methodology used by Gentry (1986) and improved by Galeano (2000); where two subplots d 0.1 h were establi- shed by censoring individuals with DBH> 2.5 cm, obtaining as a result 354 individuals represented in 117 species, 96 genera and 32 families of which five are indeterminate; in the sub plot A 277 in- dividuals were registered, grouped in 71 species, 70 genera and 29 families and in sub plot B there were 77 individuals, 46 species, 41 genera and 24 families. The subplot A reflected much higher values than subplot B according to Shannon di- versity indices (H’=3,961), Margalet (S=12,45), Simpson (DS=0,975). The most abundant families in relation to the number of individuals in both subplots are: Arecaceae 42, Melastomataceae 38, Euphorbiaceae 34, Moraceae 24, Rubiaceae 21, Myristicaceae 20 individuals respectively and families with less abundant were the Ochnaceae 9, Lecytidaceae 8, Olacaceae 3, Meliaceae with 2 individuals respectively. The investigated area presented a basal area of 15,6468 m2/0.1 ha, being the largest diametric contribution of 70 cm for the species Alchorneapsis floribunda (Benth) of the family Euphorbiaceae and the species Couma macrocarpa Bord.rod of the family Apocynaceae.
