- (Diversity, vertical structure and floristic relationships of vascular epiphytes in an urban remnant of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest). This study was conducted in a fragment of montane seasonal semi-deciduous forest (Minas Gerais State) with a history of anthropogenic disturbance. Our goals were to characterise the composition, structure and floristic diversity of vascular epiphytes and to investigate the floristic similarities of the community with other areas of urban seasonal forests in Brazil. We sampled 61 phorophytes with 47 epiphytic species. The richest families were Bromeliaceae (seven) and Polypodiaceae (seven). The most common ecological category was accidental holoepiphytes with 21 species - an unprecedented result for the Neotropical region. The Shannon index was 2.95 and the Pielou evenness index 0.77, showing a relatively high diversity with a few dominant species and numerous rare species. Similarity analyses showed a longitudinal gradient and strong influence of the distance from the ocean on floristic relationships as well as influence of dense ombrophilous forests on the composition of the vascular epiphytes of the surveyed area.Keywords: accidental holoepiphytes, biodiversity hotspot, multivariate analyses, taxonomic diversity, urban forestRESUMO - (Diversidade, estrutura vertical e relacoes floristicas de epifitas vasculares em um remanescente urbano da Floresta Atlântica brasileira). Este estudo foi realizado em um fragmento de floresta estacional semidecidual montana (Minas Gerais) com historico de perturbacao antropica. Os objetivos foram caracterizar a composicao, estrutura e diversidade floristica das epifitas vasculares e investigar a similaridade floristica da comunidade com outras areas de florestas estacionais urbanas no Brasil. Foram amostrados 61 forofitos e registradas 47 especies de epifitas. As familias mais ricas foram Bromeliaceae (sete) e Polypodiaceae (sete). A categoria ecologica mais comum foi a de holoepifitas acidentais com 21 especies - um resultado inedito na Regiao Neotropical. O indice de Shannon foi 2,95 e o indice de uniformidade de Pielou foi 0,77, mostrando diversidade relativamente alta com certa dominância de poucas especies, enquanto as especies raras foram numerosas. Analises de similaridade mostraram gradiente longitudinal e forte influencia da distância do oceano sobre as relacoes floristicas, assim como influencia das florestas ombrofilas densas sobre a composicao das epifitas vasculares na area estudada.Palavras-chave: analises multivariadas, diversidade taxonomica, floresta urbana, holoepifitas acidentais, “hotspot” de biodiversidade
