Crossodactylodes or bromeliad frogs are a group of frogs that live in the Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil.[1]
Most Crossodactylodes live on or near bromeliad plants, sometimes for their whole lives. Most of these plants grow on other plants. However, Crossodactylodes itambe lives in rock bromeliads in open fields.[2]
