This guide resulted from systematic and non-systematic
plant surveys conducted in the highly diverse campo
rupestre of the Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The
study area comprises the Serra do Cipó National Park
and its buffer zone (Environmental Protected Area
Morro da Pedreira). The campo rupestre dominates the
landscape above 900m altitude and is a mosaic of
vegetation types such as stony grassland, sandy
grassland, wet grassland, and rocky outcrops of
quartzite. Here, we present 130 species sampled on the
rocky outcrops, but not necessarily exclusive of this
vegetation type, which is a key feature of campo
Ruellia densa Gomphrena incana rupestre. Voucher specimens were deposited in the
