    Mato grosso is a place in Brazil actually, in case people don't know.
    But anyway, with regards to the plant, it looks like a Eriocaulon sp to me.

    Which part are you confused about?

    Eriocaulon sp. "Mato Grosso" means the plant is an Eriocaulon species that is originally collected from Mato Grosso, a place in Brazil.

    Your plant definitely not Erio from Mato Grosso.
    I have a few myself. Their leaves are slender.
