Aechmea correia-araujoi

An obscure Aechmea described in 1980 from northeastern Brazil. With no wild records, the best guide is the hot, seasonally dry climate site and related northeastern Brazilian Aechmea: a tough plant for bright light and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

It probably grows terrestrially or on rocks in dry forest or on rocky outcrops, like other Aechmea of the northeastern interior. This is an inference from the genus and region.

Unknown. The climate site is at about 440 m in the São Francisco valley region.
