![]() The secondary data pointed to the occurrence of 1,184 species in the area, among Pteridophyta, Pinophyta and Magnoliophyta. Those data were analyzed together with secondary data about tree and shrub species records in the Park, achieved from technical and scientific publications, theses, research reports and herbaria records. Vegetation descriptors related to the forest cover were recorded and a list of species was produced with aid of botanical material collection and identification. Along the trails, a qualitatively evaluation of the vegetation physiognomy was made, considering essentially trees and shrub species. Field data were obtained through a Rapid Ecological Assessment – REA, carried out in a set of ten trails which were selected in order to allow traveling over the most possible extension of the different physiognomies and conservation degrees of the vegetation in the Park. This work presents an analysis of the vegetation of the Carlos Botelho State Park (a 37.644,36 hectares conservation unit located in the Vale do Ribeira do Iguape Region, São Paulo state, southeastern Brazil) as a contribution for the elaboration of its Management Plan.
