Dyckia choristaminea

A spiny terrestrial bromeliad from the subtropical lowlands of southern Brazil, Uruguay and northeastern Argentina. Little is published about its exact habitat, so this profile leans on the measured regional climate and on how rock-dwelling Dyckia grow: full sun, hot humid summers, mild winters and free-draining roots.

Likely open rocky outcrops and grassland, as for most Dyckia; no species-specific habitat account was reachable.

No elevation data; the plausible sites are lowland, under about 600 m.
