COLOMBIAN COMPARATION

Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country in South America with insular regions in North America-near Nicaragua's Caribbean coast-as well as in the Pacific Ocean. The Colombian mainland is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east and northeast, Brazil S.L. to the southeast, Ecuador to the south and southwest, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Panama to the northwest. By Vascular Plants of America (VPA, in February 04, 2023), Brazil S.L. has 49,225 spp. of vascular plants, Colombia has 24,204.

The flora of Colombia is strongly influenced by the neartic invasion of high-level lineages (Fagales, Hamamelidaceae, Pennelia), the very high diversity of epiphytes (4,253 of Orchidaceae, 380 Gesneriaceae, 282 Ericaceae), a huge concentration of the largest fruits in its lineages (Mora, Pelleciera, Attalea, Chionanthus, Solanum sect. Cyphomandra). As highly relevant plants, we highlight Erythrochiton hypophyllanthus and Ceroxylon quindiuense.

NOTES FOR TAXONOMY AND DIVERSITIES

Colombia has 11 spp. of Fagales in 7 genera at 4 families, 5 in Morella, and Quercus, Trigonobalanus, Juglans, Alfaroa, Oreomunnea, and Alnus one sp. each.

In all 20 largest families in Colombia, Brazil S.L. has more species except Araceae (861  698), Gesneriaceae (376  333) and Ericaceae (282  231).

Colombian unbraziliansl families: Fagaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Cytinaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Hamamelidaceae, Mitrastemonaceae and Tetrachondraceae.

Genera with a notable diversity advantage in Colombia over Brazil S.L. (except Orchidaceae, advantage in parenthesis; includes all genera with 20 or more species than Braziliansl number) are Anthurium (149), Columnea (74), Palicourea (64), Heliconia (57), Pentacalia (56), Cavendishia (56), Blakea (48), Guzmania (42), Notopleura (41), Psammisia (41), Matisia (38), Sciodaphylum (29), Magnolia (27), Ardisia (25), Drymonia (25), Aiphanes (24), Philodendron (24), Clusia (22), Centropogon (21), Oreopanax (21), Stenospermation (20), Stenostephanus (19), Gunnera (18), Geissanthus (18), Calathea (18), Meriania (17), Hypericum (16), Pilea (15), Disterigma (14), Besleria (12), Alchemilla (7), Critoniopsis (6).

Colombian endemic genera in families without endemic genera in Brazil S.L. includes only Dipterocarpaceae (Pseudomonotes) and Vochysiaceae (Mahechadendron).

Colombia also has 41 spp. of Brassicaceae in 11 native genera, a half in Draba.
