Inselberg Flora Phototeca gathers georeferenced images of vascular plants found on sugarloaf shaped inselbergs—ancient, isolated granitic and/or gneissic monoliths—within the Atlantic Forest phytogeographic domain of southeastern Brazil, focusing on the states of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia. These rocky domes, abundant in the region known as “Sugarloaf Land,” harbor some of the domain’s greatest floristic endemism. The collection documents this unique flora, providing a reference for taxonomic, ecological, and conservation studies while supporting monitoring initiatives and science outreach.
