  1. Species are shown with the corresponding total number of sampled individuals (N), abundance rank (from the most to the least abundant), the plots at which the species was found (from 1 – closest to the cerrado edge to 7 – closest to the forest edge), dispersal syndrome (wind-, self- or animal-dispersed), and reference for the dispersal syndrome as superscripts. Families, authors, synonyms and accepted names were checked on The Plant List ([2010]) or Tropicos (Missouri Botanical Garden [2012]) databases with the Plantminer software (Carvalho et al. [2010]).
