Mary Sue;
Under Velloziaceae I find vellozia which is only found in Serra do
Espinhacoa, but some in Central, East and North Brazil and Bolivia.
it is described as a xerophytic shrub of low stature to over 6M high;
stem branched, terete or trigonous, including the old leaf-bases; leaf
blades reflexing and persistent or caducous along a regular transverse
line, not plicate; flowers perfect, perianth tube from equaling the
ovary to several times as long.....
