This team is composed of botanists from Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, Museu de Biologia Mello Leitão, Universidade Federal do Paraná and Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz. We thank IEMA, from the Espírito Santo State government for the support and permission to collect in the Parque Estadual do Forno Grande. We thank William Rodrigues for the Latin diagnosis, Diana Carneiro for the line drawing, Cleusa Bona and the Electronic Microscopy Lab at UFPR for support with the SEM techniques.
