Ribeiro is from Vale do Rio Doce in Minas Gerais and is not a scientist. He found the new plant when a small pink flower on a rockface caught his eye while he was exploring in the forest. \u201cThis plant is so different that when we received the photo from J\u00falio, we thought of several species to which it might belong, but we did not suspect it was a bromeliad,\u201d reported botanist Dayvid Couto of the National Institute for the Atlantic Forest (INMA), a member of the group that described the new species. The genus, which contains only one other species, means flower of the Krenak, an Indigenous people from the region. <em>K. ribeiranus<\/em>, whose name also pays homage to its discoverer, is now classified in the scientific record as endangered (<em>Phytotaxa<\/em>, October 5).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New species of bromeliad with hairy leaves challenges perception of these plants","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":496787,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[213,200],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-512118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-notes","tag-botany","tag-environment"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512118"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":512127,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512118\/revisions\/512127"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/496787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512118"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=512118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
