Deuterocohnia seramisiana

A small, mat-forming terrestrial bromeliad from the dry inter-Andean valleys of central Bolivia at about 2000–2300 m. It wants full sun, very sharp drainage and a dry, cool winter, much like a Dyckia or a high-altitude succulent. Species-specific information is scarce; the profile is built from the measured sites and the habits of the genus.

Where it grows wild

Rocky slopes and outcrops in seasonally dry Andean scrub, where Deuterocohnia species form dense cushions of stiff, spiny rosettes in open sun.

Recorded at 2040–2300 m (median 2150 m, 8 records).
