Perrim (Holotypus: RB).
It was discovered on the Monte Feio, an inselberg
(granitic outcrop) at the edges of the lathosol plaques,
on Nanuza (Velloziaceae) at 1100-1400 m.s.m
(Brejetuba, in the state of Espírito Santo)
and also occurs in Minas Gerais, near to the boundary
with Espírito Santo, in Pedra da Invejada (Municipality
of Mutum) where has been found by Wladyslaw Zaslawski
(M. Frey). |

This new species of Pseudolaelia belongs to the group
of wide petals character of P. corcovadensis and P. geraensis
from which it is easily distinguished by the shape of
the lip. Pseudolaelia dutrae and Pseudolaelia vellozicola
have rather narrow petals."

prorsus exposita. Legit R. Kautsky nr
490, 7. MAJ. 1975. Holotypus-HB.
By the color yellow-citrin of the flowers
which are really small, this new species
distinguishes since the first sight. To
whom who consider Pseudolaelia as an hybrid,
Pseudolaelia citrina will make troubles
to discover which are the parents"
(extracted from the description of
the species).
Probably Pabst referred to Jones because in his opinion,
all species were variants of a hybrid population between
Schomburgkia and Encyclia.
It grows exposed to the sun on Vellozia.
P. citrina was found by R. Kautsky 30 years ago, at
Pedra Santa (in the state of Minas Gerais, in the municipality
of Mutum/Imbiruçu). It has a very small area of
distribution and has never been found in another place
(Michel Frey).
The plant is very small as
well the flowers which sepals don't reach
10mm long.

Pseudolaelia
corcovadensis
Pôrto & Brade
Arquivos do Instituto de Biologia Vegetal 2: 209. 1935.
It grows on Corcovado Hill on Vellozia. It has
been also found in Tijuca, São José do Rio
Preto and Maria Madalena mountains (Pabst l976). H. S.
Irwin e S.F. da Fonseca & R. Souza have found this
species in Minas Gerais, Diamantina, at 900 m (Missouri
Botanical Garden).
It has been only found as epiphyte growing in Velozias
always in altitudes reached by the clouds which supply
copious humidity to the region (Pabst l976).
In the Serra dos Órgãos, it is found between
700 and 1.000m altitude (David Miller & all, 2006)
and found in Serra do Garimpo, Minas Gerais, at the same
altitude. It occurs from sea level (Pseudolaelia vellozicola)
to 1400m altitude.
The flowers of this species don't have nectar and are
pollinated by the Bombus atratus Franklin
by the duping mechanism (Borba & Braga, 2003).

"P. freyi is found in an area at about 20 ha on

Santo) as well as on a surface a little bit bigger in
the neighbor inselberg. It occurs sympatric to P. canaanensis
(Ruschi) Barros and P. brejetubensis M. Frey, which are
not found the nearest places. We believe it occurs only
on Velloziaceae, numerous in those inselbergs, it is interesting
to notice that it seems to prefer Nanuza plicata. It avoid
all eutrophised zones and particularly, those where the
Poaceaes are developed and still more where this is ligneous
vegetation. Blooming from April to July".

Typus
: Brazil, Espírito Santo, Vila
Pavão, Morro do Cruzeiro, 18°
39’ S, 40° 33’ W, alt.
350 m approximately, collected in 2004
(with flowers) by M. Frey & L.C.F.
Perim, M. Frey 672 (holotypus : MBML,
#24007) ; isotypus (LY) collected in
May 2005 (with flowers) by M. Frey &
L.C.F. Perim, M. Frey 851.
This species comes from the mountain ranges of northern
Espírito Santo, Brazil. It grows in an area which
has at about 100 m² in Pedra do Cruzeiro, an inselberg
granitic in the neighborhoods of Vila Pavão,
a city in the north of Espírito Santo. It grows
in a cliff quite vertical covered by lichens in which
the roots are attached. Due to the position, the plants
seldom see the sun, just during the peak of summer.
In the same granitic outcrop, another species are found
such as Pseudolaelia
dutrae Ruschi (abundantly) and Encyclia spiritusanctensis
|
|
Menezes, associated to Bromeliaceae (Dyckia sp, Alcantarea
sp), Velloziaceae (Nanuza plicata J.B. Smith & Ayensu,
Vellozia sp) and cactus. It has also been found in some
other hills in Vila Pavão surroundings. It is the
smallest species known (P. citrina Pabst e P. maquijiensis
M. Frey). However it differs from the known species of
the genus by many particularities. First of all, by the
habitat, a south direction cliff which rarely receives
the sunbeam. It also differs from the Pseudolaelia with
yellow or green-yellowish flowers (P. canaanensis, P.
citrina and P. maquijiensis) and from Pseudolaelia with
pink and white flowers (P. brejetubensis, P. cipoensis,
P. corcovadensis, P freyi, P. geraensis, P. irwiniana,
P. vellozicola and P. x perimii) for having tricolor flowers
(green-yellowish petals and sepals, pink and white lip).

Holotypus: Brazil , Espírito Santo, Brejetuba,
Monte Feio, 20° 10’ 35’’ to 20°
11’ S, 41° 16’ 45’’ to 41°
17’ 15’’ W, altitude 1 100 to 1 400
m, May 2002, M. Frey & L.C.F.Perim 231 (holotypus
: MBML). Isotypus : M. Frey & L.C.F.Perim 847 (LY).
It is a natural hybrid discovered in the mountain ranges
of Espírito Santo,Brazil , a crossing between Pseudolaelia
brejetubensis M. Frey and Pseudolaelia freyi Chiron &
V.P. Castro.
The species is found on the same reduced surface of Monte
Feio, a granitic inselberg in Brejetuba (Espírito
Santo, Brazil ) where the two species considered as its
parents have been found and described. P. freyi, much
more abundant, fills the totality of the biotypes with
thousand plants. P. brejetubensis, less spread, only occupies
a small number of places in this space and Pseudolaelia
×perimii, as we could expect from an hybrid between
the two, was just found, until now, next to the place
where P. brejetubensis grows. Without being truly vellozicola
as P. freyi, P. ×perimii is accommodate to the neighborhood
of those monocotiledoneas very typical of the biotype
and, sometimes, lean on them.
