17072 - Bromeliads (Garden) - 20220326 (Dimension: 1870 x 2050 pixels - Counter: 4486) Tillandsia neglecta Photographer: Everton Hilo de Souza Note: Green Form. Microendemic of the State of Rio de Janeiro and considered "Critically Endangered" (CR). The species is restricted to the rocky sides of the coastal region of Arraial do Cabo. Due to intense collection, it currently only lives in small hard-to-access areas. In addition to the extraction of mature individuals, the urban expansion of Arraial do Cabo has also caused the continued decline of the species' habitat quality.
