Ameroglossum pernambucense is a species of flowering plant endemic to the Borborema Plateau in Pernambuco in north-eastern Brazil.[2] It is only found on granitic rocky outcrops in moist forest enclaves from 723 to 1,215 metres elevation. The species is threatened by drought, fires, quarrying, trampling and cattle pasturing.[1]
