LOPEZ VARGAS, Luis Eduardo et al. FLORISTIC STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF THE CAJETE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION FOREST RESERVE IN POPAYÁN (CAUCA). Luna Azul [online]. 2015, n.41, pp.131-151. ISSN 1909-2474.  https://doi.org/10.17151/luaz.2015.41.8.

The floristic structure and composition of the remaining wooded area located in the Cajete Educational institution forest reserve in Popayan (Cauca) was studied. The floristic inventory was performed through free collection carried out inside and in the periphery of the forest. In total 164 species, 130 genera and 58 families were recorded. In Magnoliophyta 142 species belonging to 112 genera and 44 families were recorded, being Asteraceae (31 species and 26 genera) and Araceae (10 species and 3 genera) the most diverse families. In Monylophyta and Lycophyta 22 species belonging to 18 genera and 14 families were recognized, being Polypodiaceae with 4 species, the family with more richness. To determine the structure all individuals were sampled with ≥ 1 cm DAP in 10 bands of 50 x 2 m, and in total 560 individuals of vascular plants belonging to 39 species, 33 genera and 25 families were found. The forest presented three different strata: herbaceous, shrubby and arboreal. The shrubby stratum was dominant with a high number of species whereas the arboreal stratum consisted only of a few species. Quercus humboldtii and Banara guianensis were the species with greater dominance and with high importance value index in the forest.
