Distribution: BRAZIL: Bahia

Habitat: Terrestrial in sandy soils, in a small fragment of Atlantic Forest surrounded by Restinga and dunes near the beach, near sea level m. Elev.

Etymology: The specific epithet nidularioides refers to the main characteristic of this species, the inflorescence with a short peduncle and with the branches congested, conferring a nidular-like aspect to the blooming plant.

Phenology: In blooming in October, with some individuals blooming until January. Due to a low number of flowers per inflorescence, the same plant has a short blooming period (no more than 30 days), with specimens flowering successively, thus extending the blooming season.
