Guzmania anae
Guzmania anae is a recently described (2021) epiphytic tank bromeliad of wet premontane and lower montane forest, with a disjunct range in Costa Rica and north-west Ecuador. Wild records cluster around 1000 m in cloudy, rain-soaked forest, so it wants intermediate temperatures, high humidity and filtered light with no dry rest.
Where it grows wild
An epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in very wet premontane and lower montane rainforest, from the Caribbean and Pacific slopes of Costa Rica's central cordilleras to the Chocó foothills of Carchi and Esmeraldas in Ecuador. Before 2021 its collections were filed under other Guzmania names, so habitat detail beyond the specimen labels is thin.
Recorded from 590 to 2600 m, but most collections sit between 900 and 1450 m.
