Aechmea urussucensis

Aechmea urussucensis is a bromeliad described in 2024 by E.H. Souza and Leme, with no public occurrence records yet. The name probably refers to the Uruçuca area of southern Bahia's Atlantic Forest, so it is treated as a warm, humid tank bromeliad. Expect a typical Aechmea that wants bright filtered light, water in the cup and fast drainage at the roots.
