Brasília, DF, Brazil

 

Actinocephalus is a genus of plants in the Eriocaulaceae, first described in 2004. The entire genus is endemic to Brazil.

 

It was formerly regarded as part of the related genus Paepalanthus, but recent studies have suggested that the two groups are better separated. (from Wikipedia)
