The predominant vegetational formation in the area studied is a seazonal semidecidous forest, which is associated to areas of riverine forest and of campo-cerrado. The family Orchidaceae is represented in the area by 25 genera and 44 species. The genera with higher diversity are Epidendrum and Oncidium (5 spp.), Campylocentrum (4 spp.), and Encyclia, Habenaria and Pleurothallis (with three species each one). Keys, descriptions, illustrations, geographical distribuition and taxonomic comments to each species are provided.
