O presente trabalho traz uma caracteriza\ç\ão das restingas da \Área de Preserva\ç\ão Ambiental do Delta do Parna\íba, litoral do Piau\í, Nordeste do Brasil. Foram estudadas e georreferenciadas as forma\ç\ões vegetais das \áreas assentadas sobre solos Quatern\ários. Foram identificados os tr\ês tipos de fisionomias tamb\ém presentes em outras restingas de diferentes regi\ões do litoral brasileiro, assim como os subtipos mais frequentes. Al\ém de uma concisa descri\ç\ão das fisionomias encontradas no local, o trabalho traz uma lista das esp\écies mais freq\üentes que predominam nestas paisagens.

This paper attempts to characterize \"Restinga\" (coastal vegetation) located at EPAs (Environmental Protection Areas) in the Parnaiba river delta by the coast of the state of Piau\í, in the northeast of Brazil. Vegetation forms in areas over on soils of the Quaternary age were studied and geographically-referenced. The three types of physiognomy were identified, these being the same types found at other \"Restinga\" areas on the Brazilian coast, as well as the most frequent subtypes. Along with a concise description of the physiognomy found on the coast of Piau\í, this paper also brings a list of the most frequent species that predominate in this landscape.

Batatas Island represents a small portion of P arna\íba Delta, measuring
15 km2, bordered to the west by the Rio P arna\íba and to the east by
Lontras and M irim creeks. M ost of the land is devoted to agriculture, rice
in the region that comprises gallery forest, and sugarcane and banana plantations
in the interior.
Between June 2009 and S eptember 2010, 80 encounters with Amazon
Treeboas (Corallus hortulanus) resulted in a total of 144 hours of observations
of individuals in size classes ranging from juveniles to large adults. Forty percent
of observations were of adults, 50\% subadults, and 10\% juveniles.
