Field Notes

Description:

They are herbaceous perennial plants that propagate by way of a thick rhizome and new plantlets that develop from the stem where flowers once emerged. The plants grow erect, and have long slender lanceolate leaves from 30-160 cm long and 1-4 cm broad, depending on the species. They produce very fragrant flowers that last for a short period of time, often only 18 hours.

Habitat:

cerrado and grasslands

Notes:

Spotted this growing along the trail to Tabuleiro waterfalls in the Serra do Espinhaco Biosphere Reserve.
