Abstract

The floristic survey of the Pontederiaceae from Bahia State, Brazil, is presented. Six species of the genus Eichhornia were recognized: E. azurea, E. crassipes, E. diversifolia, E. heterosperma, E. paniculata and E. paradoxa; seven of Heteranthera: H. multiflora, H. oblongifolia, H. peduncularis, H. reniformis, H. rotundifolia, H. seubertiana and H. zosterifolia; four of Pontederia: P. cordata, P. rotundifolia, P. sagittata and P. subovata; and Hydrothrix gardneri. The treatment includes descriptions and comments for taxa, a key for identification, illustrations and distribution maps for species.
