—The epithet refers to the unique habitat where this plant grows; which are known as inselberg. These are isolated hills or mountains that rise abruptly from a plain.
—Notes on the specimen label do not indicate local frequency or abundance of this species. Therefore we provisionally classified this species as Data Deficient (DD). Further surveys will be urgently needed to secure the survival of this species as well as the Atlantic Forest of northeast
, which is one of the most threatened habitats in the Americas. Many species in this habitat are rare or classified as extremely endangered (
