Hi Eduardo, I?m curious, is the purpose to get counts by dataset by country, or to get all the plant occurrences for Brazil? The later can be obtained by downloading all plant occurrences in Brazil http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?TAXON_KEY=6&COUNTRY=BR (you could then compute the per-dataset stats locally). I realise that this isn?t as convenient as having GBIF slice the data for you in the API.

Please use nubKey for now to use the service like that: http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/counts/datasets?nubKey=6 The real problem for you will be that we do not support the combination of the country and the taxon filter, just one of the two. So you cannot search for plants in Brazil I am afraid, just for datasets about Brazil and datasets with plant records.
