Bulbostylis cangae

About

Bulbostylis cangae is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family, Cyperaceae, that is endemic to the Serra dos Carajás in Brazil. It was first identified by Nunes et al. (2016) as part of a joint project with the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi and the Instituto Tecnológico Vale which identified 55 species of Cyperaceae in the Carajás National Forest and surrounding areas. The majority of these species were associated with ironstone outcrops, which are known as cangas locally.
