The study was conducted at 14 sites of occurrence of jabuticaba tree. Were recorded 4, adult plants of the Plinia cauliflora specie, in The sites were located mostly between and m of altitude and the plants were located always in the highest part of the toposequence site with minus probability of frost. Jabuticaba trees that occur in sites with lower altitude and higher average annual temperature are bigger than others from occurrence in sites with higher altitude and lower temperature.
The soils where the jabuticaba trees grow up were clayey, strongly acidic pH almost 4. Keywords : Plinia cauliflora ; Araucaria Forest Biome; genetic resources; genetic loss; in situ conservation.
