Resumen
Paepalanthus bromelioides Silvestri (Eriocaulaceae) from the Cerro do Cipo, Brasil, is a new protocarnivorous plant mimicking Bromeliaceae, and sharing with three of them (Catopsis berteroniana, Brocchinia reducta and B. hechtioides) carnivorous tendencies: U.V. reflexion by leaves, central tank, lubricating and wettable liquid, absorbing trichomes, acid pH of water within the tank, etc.. However, prey digestion is apparently carried out by bacteria only, as in the above mentionned Bromeliaceae. A complex arthropod assemblage lives between the leaves, within tank water, and in the inflorescences. 49 1 3 9
