The protected areas of Chapada dos Guimaraes National Park is a treasure trove of plant species, and I was like a kid in a candy store! The number of plant species is enormous, and I am really saddened by the fact that perhaps 90% of the cerrado has been destroyed.

I’ve also encountered this species in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park in Bolivia – on the plateau there.
