On the other hand, they also said that very similar growth forms
were characteristic of other plants of these same habitats.

Actually this is what I said earlier? (see below)
This plant could belong to a number of families.
I am willing to bet it is a dicot (eudicot), but hardly sure of this.

I've little doubt of this.

Looks like a habit forced onto the plant by local circumstances. )
NB: Vellozia is a monocot.
Of course. But then they're pretty shrubby monocots.
Anyway, I'd suggested "Bonnetia" [a dicot], not "Vellozia".
