RESUMO

The cerrado vegetation in the far northwestern region of São Paulo State, where the municipalities of Pedregulho and Rifaina are located, is considered floristically different the others cerrado remanescents in the state. A floristic survey was carried out in two geologically distinct regions in Pedregulho: the Furnas do Bom Jesus State Park and the Estreito district. In each one, two quadrats of 50 m x 50 m were delimited, totalizing one hectare of sampled area, where a total of 65 families and 378 species of angiosperms were recorded. Collecting efforts were made in adjacent areas, totalizing 71 families and 442 species. Patterns of geographic distribution of species which ocurrence in São Paulo State is restricted to Pedregulho region were analised. There was found a high proportion of species number to the size of sampled area. This inventory was compared to others floristic studies of São Paulo cerrado, and its checklist to data from the the Fanerogamic Flora of São Paulo State, list of Vascular Flora of Cerrado and the Oficial List of Threatened Species of São Paulo State. The results reveal non-registred species by these studies and suggest a possible sub-sampling by inventories, mainly herbaceous and subshrubby species. Multivariate analyses with two methods (Unweighted Pair-Group Method using Arithmetic Averages e Dentreded Correspondence Analysis) were made to verify the floristic similarity relationship of the two studied regions in Pedregulho and others 85 localities in Brazilian cerrado, inclunding all vegetation components. The results vary according to the analisys type and to the used data. However, they suggest that the two regions in Pedregulho form a group with Delfinópolis, located in the southwestern of Minas Gerais State, apart from the others areas in São Paulo State.
