Aechmea serragrandensis

A bromeliad known only from Atlantic Forest remnants in Alagoas, northeast Brazil, described in 2007 and named after the Serra Grande area. Little is published on its ecology, so grow it like other lowland Atlantic Forest Aechmea: warm, bright filtered light, a water-holding cup and good air movement.

Where it grows wild

Atlantic Forest fragments of the northeastern Brazilian coast (the Pernambuco centre of endemism). Habitat details for this species are not published; most Aechmea there grow as epiphytes or on rocks in forest and forest edges.

Records give 0–509 m; the zero values are probably missing elevations, and the Serra Grande forests lie at roughly 300–600 m.
