Aechmea matudae

A bromeliad from the Soconusco region of Chiapas, near the Guatemalan border, recorded mostly at 50–1200 m. It sits in a climate with a hot, very wet summer and a sharp dry season from December to April, so it tolerates drought between waterings once established.

Where it grows wild

Records come from lowland and foothill forest on the Pacific slope of Chiapas; like most Aechmea it is presumably an epiphyte, though some grow on rocks or the ground.

Recorded at 47–1175 m, median 93 m.
