Abstract

CHEMISQUY, M. Amelia. Evaluación del estado de conservación de las especies del género Gavilea (Orchidaceae, Chloraeinae) en Argentina y Chile. Rev. Mus. Argent. Cienc. Nat. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.2, pp.161-167. ISSN 1853-0400.

Gavilea comprises 17 species of terrestrial orchids that inhabit southern Argentina and central and southern Chile. Their conservation status was evaluated in order to plan future conservation tools using the information obtained from field trips, herbarium specimens and recent literature. Species were categorized using the UICN and the PlanEAr criterions, and potential hazards for each species were also evaluated. Although most of the species are not endangered, G. cardioglossa, G. insularis, G. kingii, G. trullata and G. supralabellata are considered at risk and should be protected.

Keywords : Gavilea; Orchids; Conservation; UICN; PlanEAr.
