The Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest (AF) was originally distributed over large extensions of the Brazilian coast and continental inland under the influence of heterogeneous environmental conditions (Rizzini 1979, Daly & Mitchell 2000, Oliveira-Filho & Fontes 2000, Oliveira-Filho et al. 2005, Fiaschi & Pirani 2009). From sea level to 2700 m a.s.l. and from approximately 3° to 30°S under different climates, the AF encompasses many different vegetation types, from open
