Popis: Inselbergs are terrestrial, island-like rock outcrop environments that present a highly adapted flora. The epilithic bromeliadNuclear and chloroplast microsatellite markers were used to genotypeConsiderable levels of genetic diversity were revealed. Genetic structuring among populations was stronger on the plastid as compared with the nuclear level, indicating higher gene flow via bat pollination as compared with seed dispersal by wind. structure and AMOVA analyses of the nuclear data suggested a high genetic differentiation between two groups, one containing all populations from the southeastern Caatinga and the other one comprising all remaining samples.The strong genetic differentiation between southeastern Caatinga and the remaining regions may indicate the occurrence of a cryptic species in
