• Arthrocereus — A genus of succulent plants in the Cactaceae family, endemic to the mountainous and arid regions of Brazil, particularly in the state of Minas Gerais. These species are structurally characterized by thin, cylindrical, poorly branched or decumbent stems, covered with dense and fine spines, producing large, nocturnal, white or pale-pink flowers adapted for pollination by moths.
• Aspasia lunata — A species of epiphytic plants in the Orchidaceae family (orchids), native to the tropical forests of South America, particularly Brazil. Characterized by elongated and compressed pseudobulbs, the plant produces delicate inflorescences with flowers whose greenish-yellow petals and sepals are decorated with brown stripes or spots, standing out through a white-violet labellum, often crescent-shaped, an appearance from which the specific epithet 'lunata' originates.
• Austrocephalocereus — A genus of succulent plants in the family Cactaceae, native to the arid and rocky regions of Eastern Brazil. These cacti are characterized by columnar, spiny stems and the development of a lateral cephalium (a dense zone of wool and bristles from which nocturnal flowers emerge).
• Bahia — A federal state located in the northeastern region of Brazil, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, with its capital in the historical city of Salvador. It is recognized as a major cultural epicenter of the country, where Portuguese colonial traditions merged deeply with African roots brought by slaves, giving rise to unique artistic and religious phenomena like capoeira, Candomblé syncretism, and axé music. Its economy blends tropical agriculture with coastal tourism and heavy industry.
