- Description
Biodiversity conservation requires maintaining an updated knowledge of the species. Therefore, we developed an updated check-list of woody plant species in Machalilla National Park, using three complementary data sources: i) publications and reports, ii) herbarium specimens, and iii) and botanical databases. A total of 579 morpho-species, belonging to 371 genera and 93 families have been recorded in the Park. The most species- and genera-rich families were Fabaceae and Malvaceae. The most specious genera were Passiflora and Inga. 5.35 % of the total set of species is endemic to Ecuador. The park contains significant levels of species richness and endemism, and a quarter of the species are useful for local people. The conservation status of most species still needs to be assessed.
