Abstract

Little is known about the Savanna in the region of Campo Mourão and surroundings. Recently, a new remaining of its typology not inventoried yet has been found at Tuneiras do Oeste – PR. This paper aims to present a remaining floristic survey of Savanna at the city of Tuneiras do Oeste, as well as types of species dispersion. For the floristic survey (flowers or/and fruits) were weekly collected fertile botanic materials from August 2013 to July 2014. They were identified and permanently stored in the Herbarium of UTFPR, campus Campo Mourão. As a result, 125 species in 51 different families were collected. Most collected families were Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Poaceae, Asteraceae and Melastomataceae; and regarging to seed dispersal syndrome, zoochory was highlighted with 45 specimens. Finally, in the end of the floristic survey, and for this study having found rare species and poorly collected in the State of Paraná, the remaining study was turned into a conservation unit of full protection, fitting in the Ecological Station category.
