title: New Meliolaceae from the Brazilian Atlantic forest 1. Species on hosts in the families Asteraceae, Burseraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae and Sapindaceae.
abstract: Five new species, two new varieties and three newly reported taxa belonging to the Meliolaceae were collected in fragments of Atlantic forest from Minas Gerais, Brazil, in association with native plants and are described and illustrated herein. The newly described species are Appendiculella eupatorii, Meliola cassiae-ferrugineae, M. mutisiae, M. peruiferae, M. vernaliae. The new varieties are M. garugae var. protii and M. paullinifolii var. rubiginosae. These taxa are reported in Brazil for the first time: Asteridiella cyclopoda, A. entebbeensis var. codiaei and Meliola pazschkeana var. macropoda. We studied other species belonging in Meliolaceae collected on hosts belonging to the Asteraceae, Burseraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae (Caesalpinioideae and Papilionoideae) and Sapindaceae in Brazil.
