Bulbostylis pseudoperennis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Bulbostylis pseudoperennis faces severe pressure from agricultural expansion and cattle grazing in its limited range across southeastern Brazil's Atlantic Forest region. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to fragment the remaining grassland and savanna habitats where this sedge persists. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction and degradation.
Habitat
This sedge species inhabits open grasslands, campo rupestre, and savanna environments within Brazil's Atlantic Forest biome. It typically grows in well-drained soils on rocky outcrops and hillsides at moderate elevations.
