Phenological studies are important for understanding the dynamics of plant communities, the reproduction of the species, the temporal organization of resources and coevolution between plants and animals. This study followed up the vegetative and reproductive phenology of 22 individuals of Annona coriacea Mart., for 11 months, in a fragment of Cerrado in Rio Verde, Goiás, recording activity and intensity index and evaluating the timing of phenophases. The occurrence of flowering and budding at the beginning of the rains, the continued production of mature leaves throughout the study period, and more intense fruiting and leaf senescence during drought are strategies proper of a plant adapted to the occurrence of two well-defined seasons. So, probably Annona coriacea responds to climatic seasonality characteristic of the Cerrado Domain because it is only possible to define the phenological patterns and seasonality from at least two years data.
