Guzmania dalstromii

Guzmania dalstromii is a tank bromeliad described by Harry Luther in 1991 and named for Stig Dalström, the botanical artist who collected extensively in Ecuador. GBIF holds no wild records or distribution data for it, so the range and climate cannot be measured; it is understood to be an Ecuadorian species of humid Andean-slope forest, and this profile generalises from that habitat and from the genus. Confidence is low throughout.

Where it grows wild

Not documented in any reachable source. Guzmania species described from Ecuador in this period are mostly epiphytes of wet premontane and montane forest on the Andean slopes, on mossy branches in filtered light.

No elevation is recorded. A mid-elevation band of roughly 800 to 2,000 m is assumed, which covers most Ecuadorian Guzmania.
