Distribution of some Butia sp in Brazil.

[Alberto]

Butia species occur in Brazil in the Southern Region( Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná) , Southeastern Region ( occurring in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais), Central Brazil: Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso and Goiás) and Butia capitata in the st. of Bahia  (Northeastern Region) Climates varies from subtropical with near frost-free coastal regions in South and subtropical with some frigid / cool winternights on the tablemountains in the south, to a tropical climate at diverse altitudes in the other more northern regions.  It is safe to say that Butia eriospatha is originated from the coldest regions on the tablelands of the states Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Butia odorata' s habitats are located generally at lower altitudes, were the summers are hotter and winters fresher then the tablelands

My municipality of Carambeí  is close to the only little population of Butia eriospatha in the st. Paraná.  1)Carambeí in red on the map. 2) Little red " cloud" of the habitat in Paraná.
