Leguminosae on Parque Natural Municipal de Jacarenema, Vila Velha, Espirito Santo, Brazil

Jacaranema's Municipal Natural Park is an area that still has fragments of conserved restinga communities, located in an urban area of the city of Vila Velha. Despite the importance of the family, no exclusive survey about the Leguminosae of Espirito Santo's restingas has been performed yet. The present study aims to fill this knowledge gap by providing information about the diversity of Leguminosae for this area. Fifty three taxa distributed within 29 genera, 51 species, three subspecies and four varieties, and 24 of these taxa are new citations for Espirito Santo's restingas, and 37 for the park's flora. Here we present an identification key, descriptions, illustrations and comments about distribution, habitat, phenology and taxonomy of the recorded species.
