Aechmea lanata

A bromeliad endemic to Bahia in eastern Brazil, with almost nothing published about its habitat. The only climate point is in the hot, semi-arid interior, so grow it warm and bright with a drier winter, treating these targets as provisional.

Where it grows wild

Habitat is not documented; the climate point lies in the semi-arid interior of northern Bahia, which suggests a rock- or ground-dwelling bromeliad of dry forest, though that is uncertain.

No elevation records; the climate point is at about 440 m.
