Field Notes

Description:

As in the photo.

Habitat:

Woodland track in a higher altitude nature reserve in South East Brazil Atlantic forest area.

Notes:

Apparently an uncommon high altitude endemic.
The so-called common name I do not think is in normal usage but clearly someone has called it that!
