| Abstract: | We studied the mycorrhizal condition of three subclasses (Alismatidae, Arecidae, Zingiberidae) of Liliopsida (Monocotyledonae)
occurring in different natural areas of the State of Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil. Twenty-two of 35 specimens (62.8%) were
colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. No association was found in specimens of five families (Alismataceae, Cannaceae,
Cyclanthaceae, Hydrocharitaceae, Limnocharitaceae), but in two other families (Costaceae, Zingiberaceae) all specimens formed
mycorrhizae. Four families showed variable mycotrophy (Araceae, Bromeliaceae, Heliconiaceae, Marantaceae). This is the first
evaluation of the mycorrhizal condition of 24 Monocotyledonae species from this region, 15 of which were found to form AM.
