Abstract:—(Bromeliaceae Juss family Serra do Rola-Moça State Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil). The Serra do Rola-Moça State Park (PESRM), 3,941.09 ha, is located on the central southern portion of the Espinhaço Range, in a region denominated Quadrilatero Ferrifero (Iron Quadrangle). It comprises the municipalities of Belo Horizonte, Brumadinho, Ibirité and Nova Lima, between the coordinates 20º00’26’’- 20º08’42’’S and 43º96’74’’-44º06’62’’W. Predominant vegetation includes the rocky grasslands, semidecidual stational forest and savanna–like vegetation. This work aimed to study the floristics of the Bromeliaceae family in the Serra do Rola-Moça State Park. Twenty- four species belonging to 11 genera were identified, with Dyckia being the most expressive genus. Andrea selloana (Baker) Mez, Cryptanthus schwackeanus Mez, Dyckia consimilis Mez, Dyckia densiflora Shult. f., Dyckia macedoi L. B. Sm., Dyckia schwackeana Mez, Dyckia trichostachya Baker and Vriesea minarum L. B. Sm. are cited in the Minas Gerais Endangered Flora and Fauna Species List Review.
