Preliminary List of the Compositae in Northeastern Brazil is the fourth title to be published in this series. Many specimens from this plant family were deposited at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew for historical reasons, and others have been added to the collections more recently as a result of the longstandingcollaboration between Brazil and Kew.Between 2000 and 2001, 4200 Northeastern Brazilian Compositae specimenswere examined, resulting in a checklist of 486 species in 143 genera, withentries listed alphabetically and sorted by state, collector and number. Anadditional exsiccatae list enables duplicates lodged in other herbaria to bechecked against the correct determination.The database that underpins this checklist is available on the internet at:www.kew.org/scihort/tropamerica/repatriation.htm, along with images ofthe NE Brazilian type specimens held at Kew. Hard copies of such images areavailable at four Brazilian herbaria (CEPEC, HUEFS, IPA and HRB). They canalso be viewed at Kew’s general catalogue of herbarium specimens atwww.kew.org/herbcat/navigator.do 3
