The Atlantic Forest is the largest biome in the State of São Paulo, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems complexes on the planet, considered a conservation hotspot. This work aimed to list the plant species through the classification of the life forms of RAUNKIAER (1905), improved by CABRERA & WILLINK (1973). The survey of the species was carried out by prospecting’s in 54 quadratic plots of 36 m2, evenly distributed in a forest fragment of 48,010.91 m2. There recorded 97 species distributed in 47 families, with predominance Myrtaceae. The survey was carried out in December 2017, of the total number of species collected in the area of the fragment: 63 are trees, 17 are herbaceous, 6 are epiphytic, 4 are lianas, 3 are shrubs, 2 are palm trees, one is arborescent and one scandent. It is worth noting the registration of the vulnerable species Euterpe edulis, all botanical material is in the Herbarium RBR - UFRRJ - Institute of Biological and Health Sciences.
