Munidpio de Barra do Gargas: crest of Serra do Roncador, along new
road, 1^4 ^ of village of XAVANTINA. DbC 19^9
"Matinha", seven km H of Corrego Tanguru.
(On gently-sloped divide between Xingu drainage to west and Rio das Mortes-
Aragu^ia drainage to east; terrain flat or gently rolling. Xeromorphic “cerrado”
scrub or woodland (savanna sens, lat.) on uplands, narrow gallery forest along
brooks. A narrow band of grassy, seasonally marshy campo borders the gallery
forests, separating them from the cerrado. These campos usually have scattered
circular groves of cerrado scrub a few meters in diameter on slightly raised soil,
each with a termite mound. Underlying rock of region is sandstone, giving rise
to slightly clayey fine-sandy deep latosol, sterile and reddish or yellowish-tan
with almost no humus on uplands, sterile and light giray on upper valley slopes,
black with humus in upper layer on lower valley slopes and floors. In restricted
areas, small laterite blocks or quartz pebbles may form a thin permeable subsurface
layer, or upper soil layer may be purely of laterite pebbles. Region just starting
to be settled. Most gallery forests still virgin; cerrado and campo uncut except
small areas by houses; grazing none, or local and slight. Cerrado burned every
few years; so far this has only reduced lower shrub density in a few areas
without affecting basic physiognomy.)
Habitat of this a0: cerrado on upper slope of south side
of valley, just above border vith natural grassy
campo. Low-tree & scrub woodland forms shrubs to
1 in tall with 2% cover; shrubs L-3 * tall with less
than 10$ cover. Trees to 7 m tall* All woody plants
over 1 m tall with less than 10JS cover*
This n2: herb. Standard yellow with red-purple
