Deuterocohnia glandulosa

A tough, rosette-forming terrestrial bromeliad from the seasonally dry forests and rocky slopes of central Bolivia, with stiff spiny leaves and branched, long-lived flower stalks that can rebloom for years. It wants strong sun, hot days, and a pronounced dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Rocky slopes and outcrops in seasonally dry forest and scrub of the eastern Andean foothills, forming clumps in shallow pockets of soil. Habitat is generalised from the genus and the two record sites.

The two records lie at about 220 m and 1,030 m; the genus ranges higher in Bolivia.
