Finally I got it.
I'm posting it here for people that need it in the future.
Bellow is the code that solved the issue.
Thank you so much Mark.
Without your help I'm not sure if I would be able to do that, at least not
in time!
library(vegan)
library(xlsReadWrite)
PotiAbio<-read.xls('PotiAbioCanoco.xls',sheet=1,rowNames=T)
PotiBio<-read.xls('FatorialReplica.xls',sheet=8,rowNames=T)
attach(PotiAbio)
LogPotiBio<-log(PotiBio+1)
dbRDA<-capscale(Formula,dist="bray",add=T)
# Factor for the graphic groups (all sites numbered from 1 to 6, according
to the group it belongs)
FatoresRep<-read.xls('Fatores.xls',sheet=2,rowNames=T)
# Saving the capscale Scores in an object
ScoresdbRDA<-scores(dbRDA)
# The graphic
plot.cca(dbRDA,type='none',display=c('bp','sites'))
text.cca(dbRDA,dis='cn',col=323232,cex=0.7,lwd=2,lty='dotted')
points(ScoresdbRDA$sites[FatoresRep$Biofacies=='1',],pch=20)
points(ScoresdbRDA$sites[FatoresRep$Biofacies=='2',],pch=21)
points(ScoresdbRDA$sites[FatoresRep$Biofacies=='3',],pch=22,bg='gray')
points(ScoresdbRDA$sites[FatoresRep$Biofacies=='4',],pch=23,bg='gray')
points(ScoresdbRDA$sites[FatoresRep$Biofacies=='5',],pch=24)
points(ScoresdbRDA$sites[FatoresRep$Biofacies=='6',],pch=25,bg='black')
