Guzmania jaramilloi

Guzmania jaramilloi is a tank bromeliad described by Harry Luther in 1991 and endemic to Ecuador. With about 200 records, it is well collected in the cloud forests of the northwestern Andean slope, mostly at 1,500–2,000 m. Cultivation notes are lacking, so care follows the measured climate and general montane Guzmania culture.
