Aechmea vasquezii

A little-known Aechmea from Peru, known from very few collections. The single georeferenced record is from lowland rainforest at about 290 m in the upper Marañón basin of Amazonas. Treat it as a warm, humid, lowland bromeliad; detail on the species itself is very thin.

Where it grows wild

Lowland Amazonian rainforest in the upper Marañón basin. Like most Aechmea it is probably epiphytic on trees in bright, filtered light, but this has not been confirmed here.

It is known from one georeferenced site at about 289 m.
