    Cool too many ins

    Hi,

    Can somoene give some suggestions to make this phrase more stylish?

    "It's a plant located in Salvador in the state of Bahia in Northern Brazil".

    Three times in 's is ugly, isn't it?

    Not necessarily.

    You could say, "It's a plant located in Salvador, in the Northern Brazilian state of Bahia".
    bieasy and Rover_KE like this.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
