Aechmea werdermannii

A bromeliad endemic to Pernambuco and Alagoas in north-east Brazil, mostly recorded around 1000 m in the humid highland forest islands (brejos) inside the dry caatinga. Little is published on its ecology; treat it as a warm-intermediate Aechmea wanting bright filtered light and a mildly drier spring.
