Abstract

The present work consists of a study on the taxonomy of the species of the Solanaceae family occurring at the Estação Ecológica (ESEC) of Tapacurá, located in the municipality of São Lourenço da Mata, Pernambuco, Brazil. During the execution of the study, field collections were carried out between September 2019 and March 2020, in addition to main herbal consultations in the state of Pernambuco (IPA, HST, PEUFR and UFP). In the Tapacurá ESEC there are 29 species distributed among the genera Brunfelsia (1 sp.), Capsicum (2 spp.), Cestrum (2 spp.), Datura (1 sp.), Dyssochroma (1 sp.), Physalis (3 spp.), Schwenckia (2 spp.), Solandra (1 spp.) and Solanum (16 spp.). Three new records are superior for the state of Pernambuco - Physalis peruviana, Solanum jussiaei and Solanum rugosum, in addition to two new occurrences for the Atlantic Forest domain - Datura metel and Solanum rhytidoandrum. They are identification keys for the genera and species occurring at ESEC in Tapacurá, in addition to descriptions, taxonomic and distribution comments, photographs and illustrations.
