Cryptanthus dianae

A small terrestrial earth-star bromeliad endemic to the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil, in Alagoas and Pernambuco. Like other Cryptanthus it grows on the shaded forest floor, so it wants warmth, moderate shade, and evenly moist but airy soil.

Where it grows wild

Atlantic Forest floor in the lowlands, among leaf litter. This is assumed from the genus; no species habitat account was found.

Records run from sea level to 481 m; many elevations of 0 are probably missing values.
