Genlisea nebulicola

A Brazilian corkscrew plant from the high campos of Minas Gerais, in the Serra da Canastra area, whose name means cloud-dweller. Like its relatives it lives in permanently wet sandy or peaty seeps in full sun, catching soil protozoa with underground traps, and it sees a strong wet summer and a dry, cool winter.

Where it grows wild

Open, wet sandy-peaty soil in seepages and boggy grassland on quartzite highlands (campo rupestre and campo limpo). Built from the genus and the record locations; species-specific detail is thin.

Records sit near 1000 m by the climate grid; the Canastra plateau rises to about 1300 to 1400 m, which is likely where the plant actually grows.
