Aechmea guaratingensis

A bromeliad described in 2010 from the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia, known from a handful of records near 777 m around Guaratinga. Little is published on its ecology; treat it like other Atlantic Forest Aechmea: bright filtered light, warm days, mild nights and water held in the leaf cup.

Where it grows wild

Montane Atlantic Forest in southern Bahia. The growth form is not documented in the sources reached; most Aechmea of this forest grow as epiphytes or on rock, so an epiphytic habit is assumed.

Records sit at about 777–865 m; the climate grid cell lies at 348 m, so temperatures were adjusted upward in altitude.
