Aechmea aguadocensis

A rarely recorded bromeliad from south-eastern Brazil, known from the Água Doce do Norte area on the Espírito Santo–Minas Gerais border. That region of granite inselbergs has a warm, wet summer and a distinctly dry, cooler winter; growing detail for the species itself is thin.
