ProfilePROFILE

Very long, narrow leaves spread irregularly, growing over the stones beneath. The leaf ground is green, with white trichomes left in streaks, the whiteness running especially along the margins and centre. The marginal teeth are very small, inconspicuous on such narrow leaves.

Specimen records concentrate in the Espinhaço range of Minas Gerais (see “Species Distributions”).

On Brazil's national list (Portaria GM/MMA nº 1.783/2026), it is assessed as EN (Endangered). Iron-ore mining is reported as the main pressure (see “Habitats and Conservation Assessments”).
