Deuterocohnia strobilifera

A small, spiny, cushion-forming bromeliad of the high Bolivian Andes. The measured sites sit at 3300–4000 m with frosty dry winters and intense sun, so it suits a cold, bright, dry-winter regime rather than warm indoor conditions.

Where it grows wild

Little is published for this species; the records come from dry high-Andean slopes in southern Bolivia, and like its relatives it most likely grows among rocks in open, sunny scrub.

Measured sites lie at about 3300–4000 m in Potosí and Chuquisaca.
