La Oscurana (Cajamarca), one more relict forest to be conserved from the western Andean slopes in northern Peru
Floristic composition, the life forms, the importance and strategies for the conservation of a newly discovered relict forest in the north of Peru, called La Oscurana, are analyzed (El Nogal Hamlet, Bolívar District, San Miguel de Pallaques Province, Cajamarca Department; 6° 90’ S y 79° 08’ W, 2000- 2800 m). The preliminary analysis includes 85 families, 169 genera and 258 species of vascular plants, 15 families are Pteridophyta and 70 Magnoliophyta. The family with the most genera and species are the Asteraceae in the Magnoliopsida, and the Orchidaceae in the Liliopsida. The predominant life forms of the families can be divided in 6 different categories: herbs 29 (34%), shrubs 14 (16%), trees 9 (11%), lianas 9 (11%), herbs/shrubs 7 (8%) and epiphytes 5 (6%). The exceptional diversity and the local economic use are discussed. The conservation of this fragile and important ecosystem is urgent. It is one of the last existing relict forests in the region. The forest should be declared as a protected zone. Scientists, state officials, members of the regional government and the local people should work out together in the conservation plan.

Se presenta un análisis de la composición florística, formas de vida, importancia y estrategias para la conservación de un bosque relicto de la Vertiente Occidental Andina del norte del Perú, descrito por primera vez y denominado La Oscurana (caserío El Nogal, distrito Bolívar, provincia San Miguel de Pallaques, Cajamarca; 6°90’S y 79°08’O, 2000-2800 m). El análisis preliminar incluye 85 familias, 169 géneros y 258 especies de plantas vasculares, de las cuales 15 familias corresponden a Pteridophyta y 70 a Magnoliophyta. En los ámbitos genérico y específico las Asteraceae son las mejor representadas de las Magnoliopsida y las Orchidaceae de las Liliopsida. Las formas de vida predominantes en cuanto a familia se reúnen en seis categorías: hierbas con 29 familias (34%), arbustos con 14 (16%), árboles con 9 (11%), trepadoras/lianas con 9 (11%), hierbas/arbustos con 7 (8%) y hierbas/epífitas con 5 familias (6%). Se encontró que además de albergar una diversidad excepcional y brindar utilidad económica local, muchas de las especies no están registradas en las vertientes occidentales andinas del norte y del sur. Por la importancia que posee y por ser uno de los últimos bosques relictos existentes, la conservación legal de éste frágil ecosistema es urgente. Se propone que debe ser declarada zona de protección o intangible y que su conservación debe ser integral, involucrando a científicos, Estado, gobiernos regionales, gobiernos locales y población.
