Abstract

This manuscript presents the floristic treatment of Campanulaceae in the Itatiaia National Park. The family is represented in the area by three genera, Lobelia with two species: L. camporum and L. fistulosa, Siphocampylus, with four species: S. duploserratus, S. longepedunculatus, S. umbellatus e S. westinianus, and Wahlenbergia, with one species: W. linarioides. The species were mostly found in the upper part of the park, usually in the rocky outcrops of the high fields, surrounded by graminoid vegetation. Only S. longepedunculatus was collected in rain forest understory, in moist places. Descriptions, an identification key, as well as comments on geographic distribution, habitat and morphological variation of species are provided.
