    Epiphytes are hyper‐diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non‐vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer‐reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non‐vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non‐vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest. No copyright restrictions are associated with the data set. Please cite this Ecology Data Paper if the data are used in publication and teaching events.

  • Pericarp development in fruit of epiphytic cacti: Implications for fruit classification and macro-morphology in the cactaceae
    Odair José Garcia de Almeida, Luiz Antonio de Souza, Adelita Aparecida Sartori Paoli, Arthur R. Davis, J. Hugo Cota-Sánchez
    Botany, 2018
    The family Cactaceae exhibits an assortment of fleshy and dry fruit types with various shapes dictated by the gynoecium outline and surrounding pericarpel. Consequently, conflicting terminology exists regarding cactus fruit classification because the fruit is a complex structure in which various floral parts participate in development. We examined fruit morphogenesis in four epiphytic cacti and provided a description of developmental events from post-anthesis to fruit maturation, which unveiled new structures valuable in fruit characterisation and taxonomy of the Hylocereeae and Rhipsalideae. Succinctly, the cactus fruit is a carpellar ovary embedded in a long-shoot (pericarpel). The pericarp originates from five components: internal ovarian epidermis that delimits the fruit locule, ovary (proper), collateral vascular bundles, pericarpel (receptacular origin), and external pericarpel epidermis. In addition, cell expansion and stored mucilage, a sticky substance involved in seed dispersal, occurs during fruit development. We propose the term cactidium, a complex fruit with accessory structures of pericarpellar origin surrounding the gynoecial boundary, to describe the cactus fruit. This term is appropriate because members of the Cactaceae bear unique traits, such as areoles in the reproductive structures (pericarpel), which may produce scale-leaves, bristles, and spines.

  • Structural development of the fruits and seeds in three mistletoe species of Phoradendron (Visceae: Santalaceae)
    Anderson Polli, Luiz Antonio de Souza, Odair José Garcia de Almeida
    Rodriguesia, 2016
    Phoradendron is a New World genus of chlorophyllous hemiparasite plants with the distribution extending from the United States to Argentina, including the West Indies. The names given to the fruits within the Visceae are variable and include a viscous berry or pseudoberry bearing a single seed lacking the testa. Here, it was performed an anatomical study about the development of fruit and seed of three species of Phoradendron. During the fruit development the structure of the mesocarp undergoes intense activity of cell division, and it differentiates onto two new mesocarpic regions: the parenchyma and the viscid layer. In its maturity, the seed is ategmic, presenting the embryo entirely embedded within a chlorophyllous endosperm. The occurrence of chlorophyll in the endosperm may be associated to absence of integuments on the seed, which allows the light to reach the seminal tissues throughout the somewhat transparent pericarp. In addition, the Pomaceous fruit, "viscidio" type is proposed as an alternative classification for Phoradendron fruits.
