Abstract
The “caxeta” [Tabebuia cassinoides (Lam.) DC., Bignoniaceae] is exclusive of Brazil, where it occurs in flooded areas of the coastal plains, between the states of Pernambuco and Santa Catarina, forming large populations called “caxetais”. Bryophytes collections were made in 1988, 1993 and 1995, in the “caxetal” of Ubatuba, SP, Brazil. The material is deposited in the Herbaria SP and HRCB. This paper lists two divisions of bryophytes, with the total of 25 families, 61 genera, 109 species, one subspecies and four varieties. Lejeuneaceae totals the largest numbers of genera, species and of collected samples. The bryophytes were usually found on bark of living phorophytes and in a single kind of substrate. The bryoflora from “caxetal” is similar to that one reported for the Atlantic rain forest of the State of São Paulo. The liverworts Colura cylindrica and Leptolejeunea obfuscata are new records for the State of São Paulo
