Lat. 14°36t)"S. Long. 55°50tT'W.
The entrophic red podsoils along the Rio Cuiaba which carried forest are used for
agriculture (rice, cotton). Some emerged calcareous rocks covered and
surrounded by a semideciduous forest mixed with cerradao (e.g. Morro da Onca)
are interspersed. The yellowish podsoils are covered by cerradao, and the
dystrophic soils on hills carry an open, low cerrado (campo cerrado). The soil
under this cerrado is often stony, and along a small river it is built up by
laminated loamy layers. The parts of the fazenda with the more entrophic soil are
transformed successively in pastures for cattle grazing by planting grasses, while
many of the open cerrados are used as "natural pastures" only. This stand:
Campo cerrado near Usina, along the creek of the water reservoir, about 100 m
downstream.
Growing in patches, decumbent shrub with flowers in upright position. Flower
buds yellowish-white, opening at 5.30 pm. Recently opened flowers white.
