| Abstract | Epiphytes play an important role in the flora and ecology of the tropical regions. Most floristic studies within the state of Minas Gerais focus on terrestrial, woody plant diversity, but this is a different approach, looking at epiphytic angiosperms in three highland areas in Southeastern Minas Gerais, namely Mata do Baú (MB), Reserva Biológica da Represa do Grama (RBRG) and Parque Estadual de Ibitipoca (PEI). Regular collections were performed in these sites between 1999 and 2007, complemented by herbarium records for PEI, and 181 species of epiphytic angiosperms were recorded in 66 genera, within 12 families. Orchidaceae, with 89 species, was by far the largest, and the most species rich genera were Peperomia (Piperaceae) and Pleurothallis s.l. (Orchidaceae), with 12 species each. Similarity analysis has shown a closer relationship between MB and RBRG, both composed by seasonal semideciduous forest, however, Jaccard (0.163) index are low. A similarity analysis including other 21 areas of southeastern and southern Brazil revealed strong influence of sazonality, vegetation type and altitude in the composition of the epiphytic flora, and a relative independence regarding the geographic proximity of the areas sampled. From the conservation standpoint, 30 species recorded for this work appear in the red list for the state of Minas Gerais, under different conservation categories. The low similarity indices obtained between the studied areas underline the importance of the conservation of each one of the remaining forest fragments in Minas Gerais, as their relative geographical proximity does not necessarily mean that their epiphytic flora is similar.Angiospermas epífitas como indicadores para conservação em fragmentos florestais. Um estudo de caso do sudeste de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Epífitas desempenham um importante papel na flora e ecologia de regiões tropicais. A maioria dos estudos florísticos no estado de Minas Gerais têm como foco a diversidade das plantas arbóreas, sendo apresentada aqui uma abordagem diferente, visando as angiospermas epífitas de três áreas de altitude no sudeste de Minas Gerais, Mata do Baú (MB), Reserva Biológica da Represa do Grama (RBRG) e Parque Estadual de Ibitipoca, (PEI). Coletas regulares foram realizadas nestas localidades entre 1999 e 2007, complementadas por registros de herbário para o PEI, sendo registradas 181 espécies de angiospermas epífitas, distribuídas em 66 gêneros e 12 famílias. Orchidaceae, com 89 espécies, foi a mais rica, enquanto os gêneros com o maior número de espécies foram Peperomia (Piperaceae) e Pleurothallis s.l. (Orchidaceae), com 12 espécies cada. Análises de similaridade mostraram uma relação mais próxima entre MB e RBRG, ambas compostas por floresta estacional semidecidual, no entanto, o índice de Jaccard (0,163) foi baixo. Uma análise de similaridade incluindo outras 21 áreas do sudeste e sul do Brasil revelou forte influência da sazonalidade, tipo de vegetação e altitude na composição da flora epifítica e uma relativa independência no que tange a proximidade geográfica das áreas amostradas. Em relação à conservação, 30 espécies registradas neste trabalho aparecem citadas na lista vermelha para o estado de Minas Gerais, sob diferentes categorias de conservação. Os baixos índices de similaridade obtidos entre as áreas estudadas destacam a importância da conservação de cada um dos fragmentos florestais remanescentes em Minas Gerais, bem como sua relativa proximidade geográfica não necessariamente significa que sua flora epifítica seja similar. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
