Growth forms included graminoids (Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Juncaceae, Hypoxidaceae,
Xyridaceae) with grass-like foliage, forbs (herbs with broad leaves), woody vines, and shrubs.
Eriocaulaceae, Velloziaceae, and
Xyridaceae are exceptionally species-rich in the CRs (Harley, 1995; Giulietti and Pirani, 1988).
In
Xyridaceae the calyx is monosymmetric in Abolboda and Xyris, the corolla is bilabiate in Orectanthe, and the ovary is dorsiventrally compressed in Aratitiyopea (Kral, 1998).
Broad-leaved meadows are dominated by
Xyridaceae, Rapateaceae, and Eriocaulaceae, being Stegolepis ptaritapuiense (Rapateaceae) the most frequent species.
